Springs forward on U-14 soccer team
Colorado Springs forward Cate Parchinski will play for the U.S. under-14 girls national soccer team next week at the Nike women’s friendlies in Carson, Calif.
Parchinski, a member of the Colorado Springs-based Pride Soccer Club, was named to the 24-person team after a national development camp that ended last month in Pomona, Calif. The camp also was used to determine the player pool for next year’s U-15 national team.
The U-14 national team, playing its first competitive matches, will face the U-16 Dallas Texans on Sept. 20, the U-16 Danville (Calif.) Mustangs on Sept. 21 and the U-16 Sereno (Ariz.) Soccer Club on Sept. 23. The team is coached by Mike Dickey, the U.S. women’s national team staff coach for Region 2.
