Redmond To Train With U.S. U-21 Women?s National Team
6/5/2007 12:00:00 AM | Women's Soccer
CHICAGO, ILL.? Duke University rising sophomore Elisabeth Redmond is one of 24 players that have been invited to the U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team training camp, which will take place in Portland, Ore., from June 6-13. This will mark the second time since February Redmond has trained with the U-21 squad as she traveled to Carson, Calif., from Feb. 17-23.
This will mark the final camp before the 2007 U.S. Nordic Cup Team will be chosen. The Nordic Cup Tournament will take place from July 12-25 in Vassa, Finland.
Redmond, who is a native of Morristown, N.J., is coming off a freshman campaign where she scored three goals and had a team-high seven assists on the season for the Blue Devils. An All-ACC Freshman selection and Soccer Buzz All-Southeast Region honoree, Redmond was tied for a team-best with three game-winning-goals.
A 5-6 forward/midfielder, Redmond was a member of the U.S. Under-16, Under-17 and Under-20 National Team pools, while also being named a three-time NSCAA All-America in high school.
Held in Northern Europe every summer, the USA has competed in the tournament for well more than a decade, as it has become the focus of the USA's oldest youth national team during its six-month run-up to the prestigious competition. In respond to FIFA moving oldest FIFA world championship for women from Under-19 to Under-20, this year the Nordic Cup moves from an Under-21 competition to an Under-23 tournament (it was staged as a U-20 event from 1990-1997) and Irwin will bring an 18-player roster featuring a mixture of U-21 and older players to Finland.
The USA has won eight Nordic Cup titles, including seven in a row before falling last year in the championship game to Germany. The USA won the last Nordic Cup contested in Finland in 2002, defeating Germany, 3-1 in the final.
While the Nordic Cup has long featured eight teams and three group games followed by a placement match, this year's format calls for two group games and then a placement match, giving the USA little room for error in the first round to earn a berth to the title game, which will pit the winners of Group A, featuring England, Finland and Germany, and Group B, which will feature Norway, Sweden and the USA.
The American women open with Norway on July 18 in N?rpi?, followed by the match against Sweden on July 22 in Vaasa. The placement matches are on July 24. All the matches are in and around Vassa on the west coast of Finland right on the Gulf of Bothnia.
After winning its first Nordic Cup in 1997 (over Norway in Denmark), the USA has won an amazing eight out of the last 10 Nordic Cups, and seven in a row from 1999-2005. Age eligible players for the 2007 Nordic Cup are those born on or after January 1, 1984.
