This camp will not include any players from the country’s World Cup-winning team, but instead will be used to evaluate younger players from college and those who have played well in the National Women’s Soccer League or in professional leagues abroad.
While Berkely has played for various national-team age-group teams through the years, the redshirt junior is among 10 players earning their first call-up to the senior National Team.
She also has been named a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy, which is awarded annually to the best men’s and women’s college player by the Missouri Athletic Club.
She already was named this season’s defensive player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Winners of today’s games will play 7 p.m. or 9:30 p.m. Dec. 6, at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, with the finals Dec. 8 at 8:30 p.m. in the same stadium.
