Chalupny & Sauerbrunn Named to US WNT Roster

After five days of training camp that featured seven on-field practice sessions, including a full-field scrimmage on Monday, Pia Sundhage has named her first tournament roster as head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team. Sundhage chose 20 players who will travel to Foshan, China, on Tuesday in preparation for the 2008 Four Nations Tournament, being held Jan. 16-20 at the Foshan Sports Center.
JB Alum Lori Chalupny and Becky Sauerbrunn have been named to the roster. While many of the U.S. players have been to China on multiple occasions, the trip will provide some valuable experience for the numerous young players on the roster who are trying to solidify themselves in the player pool in hopes of earning a spot on the USA’s Olympic qualifying roster, and ultimately, the Olympic Games from Aug. 6-21 in Beijing (and four other Chinese cities).
