U.S. U-20s Recall Tordin for July Camp, Games
July 01, 2024 | Women's Soccer
As preparations continue for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup beginning in August in Colombia, the U.S. U-20s have recalled rising junior Pietra Tordin for the fifth time.
This time, Athens, Ga., is the destination, for a July 8-16 camp including two games against Mexico July 13 and 16.
Tordin has traveled internationally with the U.S. U-20s, going to Colombia in February and scoring the lone goal in a win over host Colombia, and going to Germany in April. This will be Tordin's third domestic camp with the U.S. U-20s, along with camps in January and May and June in California. During the later camp, the Americans took on South Korea in two games.
The training and games are in preparation for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia, set to run Aug. 31-Sept. 22. Ahead of the last FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in 2022, Team USA announced its roster on July 25, a few weeks before the Aug. 10 tournament start.
Two years into her Princeton career, Tordin has already loaded up on superlatives and is climbing the program's record lists. Tordin earned United Soccer Coaches third-team All-American honors, becoming the first sophomore-or-younger Tiger to do that since Diana Matheson '08 in 2004. The 2022 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Tordin added a first-team All-Ivy League honor this past season to her second-team all-league recognition from her first season. At 20 goals scored, Tordin already stands 14th on Princeton's career scoring list and is just the fifth player in program history to have at least 20 goals by the end of her sophomore season.
