Upcoming This Month: Excitement in Women’s Soccer
If you can’t make the matches live, stay tuned and watch as the action in women’s soccer heats up this November as the USA takes our rival to the north.
Women’s Soccer News: U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Jill Ellis named her 23 player roster for the upcoming training camp — this is preparation for the final two matches of 2017.
The USA will face Canada on Nov. 9 in Vancouver, Canada and again on Nov. 12 in San Jose, CA.
Ellis will name the final 18 players who will suit up to represent the red, white and blue for each of the two matches soon. The two friendly adversaries have not met sine 2016 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship when we shut Canada out 2-0.
