Rebel Sophomore Will Compete for the USA at the 2019 Thorns Spring Invitational
OXFORD, Miss. โ Fresh off of a second-straight high scoring season for the Rebels, Ole Miss' Channing Foster will be donning a new red, white and blue kit this summer after being named to the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Team roster for the 2019 Thorns Spring Invitational in Portland, Oregon later this month. It is Foster's first-ever call up at the national level.
ย
"Having the chance to play with some of the very best players in the country is so exciting," said Foster. "I cannot wait to get out there! Getting the call up to Team USA is such an answered prayer and I am so thankful."
ย
Foster is one of 24 players who have been selected by U.S. U-23 Women's National Team head coach B.J. Snow, joining fellow SEC players Haley Hopkins from Vanderbilt and Ally Watt from Texas A&M. The Rebel sophomore also joins the likes of 2018 MAC Hermann Trophy winner Cararina Macario of Stanford and international players in Schuyler Debree (Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic) and Martha Thomas (Le Havre in France).
ย
The U.S. U-23s are taking part in Thorns Spring Invitational for the third year in a row and all the matches will take place at Merlo Field on the campus of the University of Portland.
ย
The USA opens against Reign FC on Sunday, March 24 at 1:30 p.m. CT. The second matchday on Wednesday, March 27, features the USA taking on Portland Thorns FC at 9:30 p.m. CT. The U.S. finishes against the Chicago Red Stars on Saturday, March 30 at 3:30 p.m. CT.

"We are thrilled for Channing to be called up to the U-23 National Team for the Thorns Spring Invitational," said Ole Miss head coach Matt Mott. "She has had a great first two years as a Rebel and she is extremely deserving of this call up. People close to our program know the type of player that she is and we can't wait to see her perform on the National Team stage."
