EVANSTON, Ill. – First-year midfielder Keira Kemmerley has been named to the U.S. Under-19 Women's National Team for its upcoming training camp and two matches against Germany.
Kemmerley is one of 20 players named to the roster that will train from May 31 to June 10 in Frankfurt, Germany. The two matches will take place on June 5 and 9 at the DFB Campus, Germany's National Training Center in Frankfurt. 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.
The selection marks Kemmerley's third invitation to U-19 training camp in 2026. The first-year has already participated in training camps in Portugal and Argentina with the U-19 squad.
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.
