WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest sophomore forward Katie Stengel was one of 30 players called into the January training camp for the U.S. U-20 National Team which will take place at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. from Jan. 5-19.
In addition to daily training sessions, the U-20s will play two 60-minute scrimmages against Shanghai Women's Football Club of China. The squad is beginning its preparations for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which will be held in Japan in late August and early September. The CONCACAF Qualifying tournament, which will send three countries to the U-20 WWC, will be held from March 1-11 in Panama.
The 2011 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, Stengel finished as the conference's scoring leader with 19 goals and 46 points - both Wake Forest single-season records - to help lead the Demon Deacons to their first-ever College Cup. In addition to earning First Team All-America honors from the NSCAA, the first-ever Deacon to do so, she was a semifinalist for the prestigious M.A.C. Hermann Trophy.
Stengel has been a regular with the U-20 team, which is coached by Virginia head coach Steve Swanson, over the past year and in October traveled with Wake Forest teammate Aubrey Bledsoe to camp with the U-23 National Team under the direction of full national team coach Pia Sundhage.
