Chestnut Hill, MA - Boston College's Kristen Mewis was invited to join 27 other players at the U.S. Women's National Team training camp in Frisco, Texas this week. The team will train for one week and the U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage will select 18 players to play in the team's first domestic match of the year against New Zealand on Feb. 11 at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, TX.
The week-long camp in Frisco and the match will serve as a warm-up for the annual Algarve Cup in Portugal, which this year will be held from Feb. 29-March 7. The USA will leave for Europe about 10 days after facing New Zealand.
New Zealand is a virtual lock to earn Oceania's lone berth to the 2012 Olympics once qualifying commences in the smallest of FIFA's six Confederations. Mewis was with the team from Jan. 7-15 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
A 2011 All-ACC first team selection, Mewis led Boston College in scoring with 22 points, eight goals and six assists. A native of Hanson, MA, Mewis was an NSCAA Regional first team selection and NSCAA All-American third team. She was also a Soccer America MVP second team this past season.
