“I give a lot of credit to my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the athletic department here at Wake who push me to be better every day. I’m also grateful to my family for always supporting me and showing me what hard work and resiliency looks like. The opportunities I have now wouldn’t be possible without the amazing people I’m surrounded by.”
DUBLIN, Ireland – Wake Forest field hockey's Lee Ann Gordon will compete with the U-21 Field Hockey US Women's National Team squad in the Uniphar 5-Nations Tournament in Dublin, Ireland from Sunday, June 19 until Sunday, June 26.
After a recent training camp, Gordon was selected to the 20-athlete roster. Team USA will hit the turf in round-robin style matches against the Netherlands (Sunday, June 19), Ukraine (Monday, June 20), India (Thursday, June 23) and Ireland (Saturday, June 25).
"I give a lot of credit to my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the athletic department here at Wake Forest who push me to be better every day," Gordon said. "I'm also grateful to my family for always supporting me and showing me what hard work and resiliency looks like. The opportunities I have now wouldn't be possible without the amazing people I'm surrounded by."
Gordon was named to the 2022 U.S. U-21 Women's National Team after an impressive performance over a four-day selection camp at Queens University of Charlotte earlier this year.
Last summer, Gordon was tabbed to the USA Field Hockey U-21 Development Selection Camp Roster.
Gordon anchored the Wake Forest defense in her second collegiate season in 2021, starting in all 17 games. The Demon Deacon defense was smothering all season long, holding their opponents to two or less goals in 13 matches.
