Defender Lizzie Colson ('21), midfielder Taylor Cummings ('16), defender Megan Douty ('15) and defender Alice Mercer ('16) were all invited to tryouts. Cummings, Douty and Mercer were a part of the 2017 U.S. team that won the World Cup, with Cummings and Douty being named to the All-World Team.
The event is closed to the general public, but a special livestream will be carried by Lax Sports Network on the evening on Thursday, June 10.
