Sermanni names 29 players to February camp

New U.S. women’s national team coach Tom Sermanni has named 29 players to his first training camp ahead of Feb. 9 and Feb. 13 games against Scotland.

Seventeen of the 18 Olympic gold medal-winning players have been named to the camp, with the exception of Amy LePeilbet, who is described as having a “lingering knee injury.”‘

Ali Krieger is back in camp nearly a year to the day since tearing her ACL and MCL. No. 3 NWSL college draft pick Kristie Mewis and North Carolina junior and Hermann Trophy winner Crystal Dunn were also called-up by Sermanni.
