ATLANTA – First-year midfielder Keira Kemmerley has been named to the U.S. Under-19 Women's National Team for its training camp and three upcoming friendly matches in Portugal.
Kemmerley is one of 20 players named to the roster that will square off with Czechia, Wales and Portugal over a two-week span outside of Porto. All 20 players on the roster are eligible to be named to the 2026 FIFA Women's U-20 World Cup in Poland next fall.
In a standout rookie season in Evanston, Kemmerley posted one goal and three assists en route to Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors. Kemmerley's three assists marked the most by a Wildcat first-year since Caterina Regazzoni tallied three helpers in 2022. The midfielder is Northwestern's first All-Freshman Team selection since Megan Norkett earned a nod as a first-year in 2023.
