New Mexico freshman defender Aaron Herrera has been called up to the U.S. U-20 Men’s national team for its tournament in Germany this weekend. The 18-year-old from Las Cruces has started all but one of UNM’s games this season.
“It’s quite an honor for Aaron and for our program to get called into the national team,” UNM head caoch Jeremy Fishbein said. “They’re going to play Germany, Scotland and Mexico. He’s the type of player we’re getting here.”
Herrera will miss UNM’s match at No. 11 Old Dominion this Saturday and will rejoin the Lobos next Tuesday.
