Boston Breakers forward Midge Purce has been called up to the first USWNT U-23 camp of 2018, which runs from January 4 - 11 in Carson, CA. As per US Soccer’s press release, the full senior team will also be in camp at the same time, no doubt allowing Jill Ellis to evaluate younger players she considers to be on the periphery of the senior WNT. 26 players total were named to the U-23 roster.
Purce has been called up to the senior team before, as in July of last year when she was named as one of six midfielders available ahead of the Tournament of Nations.
