Tordin Earns National Preseason Honors
August 13, 2024 | Women's Soccer
The national preseason honors have begun to roll in for junior Pietra Tordin, who is set to compete with the U.S. U-20 team at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup beginning later this month in Colombia.
Tordin was named a Player to Watch, one of 19 forwards included, by United Soccer Coaches, and she was a second-team forward by Top Drawer Soccer, the top Ivy Leaguer honored. Top Drawer Soccer had 11 players each on the first and second team, and Tordin was ranked No. 19 on the site's Top 100 Players list across all positions, including sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Two years into her Princeton career, Tordin has already loaded up on superlatives and is climbing the program's record lists. Last season, 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 last 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.Â
Play at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup will begin on Aug. 31 with Team USA's opener set for Sept. 1 against Spain. Morocco (Sept. 4) and Paraguay (Sept. 7) are also in the U.S.'s group, with the top two teams in each group and four of the six third-place teams moving on to the knockout round.
