Tennessee Freshmen Ayva Jordan and Emerson Moore Earn Spots in U.S. Women’s National Team Training Camps

The upcoming domestic camps in Georgia will feature rising stars from the Lady Vols' top‑ranked 2026 class.

A New Generation of Talent

The United States Women's National Team has unveiled the rosters for its upcoming domestic training camps, a selection that spotlights a fresh wave of talent from across the country.

Among the newly called‑up players are two standout freshmen from the University of Tennessee, Ayva Jordan and Emerson Moore, who will join the U‑19 and U‑18 squads respectively.

The camps will run from June 26 through July 3 in Fayetteville, Georgia, providing an intensive environment for the prospects to train under experienced guidance.

Coaching Leadership

Carrie Kveton will serve as head coach for the U‑19 group, while Toni Pressley takes the reins of the U‑18 team, bringing both playing experience and tactical insight to the sidelines.

Jordan arrives as a highly touted prospect, ranked No. 6 overall in the 2026 class by TopDrawerSoccer and celebrated as the 2025 ECNL National Finals MVP after a four‑time All‑America career.

Moore, who reclassified from the 2027 cohort, holds the No. 56 spot overall and is listed as the No. 17 midfielder in her class, having already earned caps with the U.S. Youth National Team.

Both athletes are part of a seven‑player contingent from Tennessee’s 2026 signing class that boasts prior USYNT experience, a group that helped the Lady Vols secure the No. 5 national ranking according to TopDrawerSoccer.

The upcoming camps represent a critical milestone in their development, offering a direct pathway to future senior team considerations as the coaching staff evaluates the next generation of talent.
