EVANSTON, Ill. – First-year midfielder Keira Kemmerley has earned a spot on the U.S. Under-19 Women's National Team roster for its upcoming training camp and friendly matches in Argentina.
Kemmerley is one of 20 players named to the roster that will travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a 10-day training camp and two matches against the Argentina U-19 WNT from April 9 to 18. The rookie midfielder earns the nod after previously participating in U-19 WNT training camp in Portugal in February and U-18 WNT training camp in Atlanta in 2025. 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.
The two matches against the Argentina U-19 WNT will be held on April 14 and 17 at the Argentina Football Federation Training Center in Buenos Aires.
