Lussi Headed to U.S. U-23 National Team Camp
January 14, 2016 | Women's Soccer
Princeton junior Tyler Lussi has earned an invitation to the U.S. U-23 Women's National Team's training camp in Carson, Calif., to be held Jan. 18-23.
Lussi is the second Tiger this month to earn a U.S. WNT camp invitation, joining freshman Mimi Asom, who just wrapped up a weeklong camp with the U-20 team on Jan. 10. The U-23 team is the last of the age-group national teams, which begin at the U-15 level.
Lussi will enter her senior season next fall poised to become the program record holder in goals and points. Her 43 career goals are just four behind record holder Esmeralda Negron '05 and her 98 career points are 14 back of Negron.
While Lussi is the only Ivy Leaguer among the 26 players at the camp, she's one of 21 who were collegians this past season. Four of those players were on opposing sides to the Tigers this past season, including Erica Skroski from in-state rival Rutgers, McKenzie Meehan from NCAA first-round opponent Boston College and Mandy Freeman and Kayla Mills from NCAA second-round opponent USC.
The camp will feature a game against the full Irish national team on Jan. 25 at 2 p.m., two days after Ireland faces the full U.S. WNT in San Diego.
