COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Former UConn field hockey All-American Casey Umstead was one of 16 athletes selected to the U.S. Women's National Team roster for the 2019 Pan American Games.
This will be Umstead's first world championship experience with Team USA. She led UConn to the 2014 and 2017 NCAA Championships as a defender. Umstead was a two-time All-American in Storrs, including first team honors in 2017.
The games will take place July 29-Aug. 10 in Lima, Peru. The No. 13 U.S. Women's National Team sits in Pool B with No. 15 Chile, No. 29 Mexico and No. 38 Peru. Pool A contains No. 3 Argentina, No. 18 Canada, No. 25 Uruguay and No. 63 Cuba.
USA will open up PAG competition with Mexico, an opponent they haven't faced since the 2017 women's Pan American Cup. Next, they will play familiar opponent Chile who in the last two years they have faced eight times. In their final pool game, USA will play hosts Peru, who they have never matched up against.
