Two Utahns — one a former prep star, and another who still plays in high school — will be playing international competition after making U.S. Soccer Team rosters.
Juan Diego forward Emily Bruder will make her way to Sunrise, Fla., for training camp with the U-17 team. Bruder made the cut after strong performances over the summer for national team tryouts. The junior Stanford commit even scored a goal against Japan in August.
The training camp runs from Feb. 3 to 11, and the U.S. will play Germany on Feb. 6 and Feb. 9. Bruder is one of only 24 players from around the nation on the roster.
And Bruder isn't the only Utahn who's competing nationally — Kealia Ohai, a sophomore forward at the University of North Carolina who played her high school ball at Alta, will travel with the U-20 squad to Spain. The team will face Switzerland, Germany and Norway during the Four Nations Tournament. Ohai has played on other national teams before.
