Brooke Heinsohn '16 Named to U-18 National Team For Upcoming Training Camp
Rivers senior goalkeeper Brooke Heinsohn ’16 was named to the United States U-18 Women’s Soccer National Team for an upcoming training camp in Mexico City, where they will play two games against Mexico’s U-20 Women’s National Team.
The training camp will take place from August 8-16 with the games being played on August 13 and 15 in Mexico City. All 20 players that were named to the roster were born in 1998 and this trip starts the group’s push to qualify for the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in France.
Brooke is one of two goalkeepers and one of just two players from New England to be selected for this training camp, the other being a forward from Connecticut. She has been training with the USWNT since the spring when she attended a training camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.
Brooke helped lead her club team, NEFC, to a national championship this summer. NEFC topped PDA South 96 Force from New Jersey, 5-2, at the National Premier Leagues National Finals in Westford, Indiana. You can watch the full game here.
