LANCASTER, Pa. – Freshman Lindsay Dickinson of the UConn field hockey team was named to the 24-player U.S. U-19 Women's National Team while sophomore Jessica Dembrowski was tabbed to the U.S. U-21 Women's National Team, as announced by the U.S. Women's National Team High Performance staff Monday.
The initial selection of athletes to participate in the selection camp were chosen from 2018 Junior National Camp which followed the 2018 Citi National Futures Championship, presented by Harrow Sports. The U-19 squad will take part in three additional training camps over the next several weeks to prepare for their respective Germany tours. The U-19 USWNT will travel to Dusseldorf to take on Germany's U-18 Team and Belgium's U-18 Team. Additionally, for the first time, the U-19 USWNT will take part in the Young Women's National Championships from June 14-18, 2019.
The U.S. U-21 Women's National Team will meet three times in the next two months for training camps in preparation for their international tour to Germany from April 14-22. In Monchengladbach, the U-21 USWNT will take on Germany's U-21 Team and Great Britain's U-21 Team.
Dickinson was an immediate starter for the top-five Huskies as a freshman in 2018. She scored once and added two assists for the Huskies while helping the defense hold teams to just a 1.30 goals-against average. The Glenn Mills, Pa., native was a member of the 2018 U-19 National Team.
Dembrowski also started every game in her second season in Storrs. She totaled nine goals, three assists and 20 points in 2018. The Palmyra, Pa., native was a member of the 2016-17 U.S. Junior Indoor National Team.
Former Husky Karlie Heistand '18 was selected to the 2019 U.S. Women's National Development Team. Heistand, currently an assistant coach at Villanova, was an All-American and a two-time national champion at UConn.
Similar to the U-21 USWNT, the U.S. Women's National Development will have one training camp in February and two in March as they prepare for their international tour to The Netherlands from April 13-22. There they will compete against the Scotland Women's National Team and Belgium's U-21 Team.
