CHICAGO - Wake Forest defender Ally Haran was called up to the United States Under-20 Women's National Team for a training camp from April 11-18 at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, California.
Haran previously spent time training with Canada's U-20 team. She was born in Stratford, Ontario, but was raised in Michigan.
She is one of 24 players selected to the roster, including one of seven defenders. Six of the 13 current college players on the roster are from ACC institutions.
After missing the first eight games of the 2014 season, Haran stepped in as a starting center back. She recorded a goal and an assist in nine games, helping anchor Wake Forest's back line as a freshman.
This age group is focusing on qualifying for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which has an age cut-off of players born on or after Jan. 1, 1996. FIFA recently announced that the tournament will be held in Papau New Guinea.
The U-20s will split its squad on Friday, April 17, to play matches against USC (7:45 p.m. ET) and UCLA (9:30 p.m. ET).
