COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Three Members of the Maryland field hockey program, Hope Rose, Josie Hollamon, and Rayne Wright have been named to the 2023 Junior Pan American Championship (JPAC) Roster, Head Coach Tracey Paul announced. The three Terps qualified for the 18-athlete roster after a Pre-JPAC Preparation Camp that took place March 17 to 19 in Charlotte, N.C.

The squad will compete at the Junior Pan American Championship, which will take place April 10 to 18 at the Wildey Hockey Centre located in the Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Complex in St. Michael, Barbados. This event is a qualifier for the 2023 FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, with the top three teams advancing.

Team USA will face-off against Argentina on Wednesday, April 12 at 11:00 am. More information on how to follow the 2023 Junior Pan American Championships can be found by clicking here.

"Our 2023 U-21 squad is a very strong group, so selecting just 18 of them was quite a challenge," stated Head Coach Tracey Paul. "We just had a very productive training camp in Charlotte, where we had the opportunity to scrimmage the senior team. It is very impressive how focused and committed the entire squad is to our performance objectives. We are in a challenging three-team pool [at the Junior Pan American Championships], however, I feel very confident these young women will do the necessary work between now and then to be fully prepared to achieve success and qualify for the Junior World Cup." 

This is the second consecutive JPAC roster selection for Hope Rose and the first for Josie Hollamon and Rayne Wright.
