MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin women's soccer defender Aidan McConnell was named to the roster for the upcoming U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team training camp, head coach Tracey Kevins announced on Wednesday.
McConnell will travel to the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista, California for a seven-day camp that starts on Tuesday and runs to Dec. 14. She is one of nine defenders that collected invites to the camp that will help the U.S. decide its roster for the upcoming CONCACAF U-20 Women's Championship, which is set for Feb. 25 - March 12 in the Dominican Republic.
A freshman from Dexter, Michigan, McConnell started in all 20 games for the Badgers this season and helped lead her team to the third round of the NCAA tournament. She earned second-team all-region honors, third-team All-Big Ten accolades and was a member of the Big Ten All-Freshman Team during her rookie season in Madison.
Before she was a Badger, McConnell played for Dexter High School and the Michigan Hawks of the ECNL A 2021 first-team Division I all-state honoree and helped her high school program to the District 9 finals her senior season. McConnell is in the top 150 in the Top Drawer Soccer rankings and has earned All American distinctions from United Soccer Coaches and ECNL Midwest regional team honors.
