A Fresh Face in the U-19 Camp
Eres Freifeld, a sophomore defender from Fort Worth, Texas, has been selected for the U.S. U-19 Women's National Team Training Camp that will run from June 25 to July 3 in Fayetteville, Georgia. The invitation marks a significant milestone in her budding collegiate career.
During her freshman season at North Carolina, Freifeld appeared in 21 matches, logging 806 minutes while contributing three goals and six points. Her .556 shots‑on‑goal ratio highlighted a knack for finding space in the attacking third.
She will join a roster that includes 16 newcomers, all vying for a spot on the national squad ahead of the upcoming season. The camp serves as a proving ground for players who could soon make an impact on the international stage.
Freifeld’s club future lies with TCU, where she will debut on August 13 against Wisconsin. The Horned Frogs are slated to host eight home matches this year, giving her ample opportunity to showcase her defensive skills in front of a home crowd.
The call‑up underscores the growing pipeline of talent that moves from college programs to the national team setup. It also reflects the strategic focus of U.S. Soccer on integrating fresh collegiate players into the development pipeline.
