TALLAHASSEE - Jordynn Dudley, Heather Gilchrist, Giana Riley, and Taylor Suarez have been selected to the 21-person roster for the United States U-20 Women's National Team for the upcoming 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia. Florida State has four players representing this year's squad, the most of any collegiate side.
Dudley has made nine appearances in competitive play for the U-20 side and was part of the squad that appeared in the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Final. The reigning National Freshman of the Year has scored three goals for USA, highlighted by a crucial second goal in the 3-1 victory over Canada in July.
Suarez moved up to the U-20 side after great success with the U-17 squad where she played a role in claiming the 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship and appeared on the scoresheet in the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. The freshman has made eight appearances this year and scored her first U-20 goal in the aforementioned 3-1 victory over Canada.
Gonzaga transfer Giana Riley has made eight appearances for the Stars and Stripes this season, scoring her first U-20 goal in the 3-0 rout over South Korea. Gilchrist has made six appearances in the backline and helped the U.S. secure several clean sheets over Germany, Mexico, Colombia, and South Korea this year.
The United States has qualified for all 11 editions of the tournament and looks to become champions for the first time since 2012. Team USA will play in Group C and open against reigning champions Spain on September 1.
