Women's national under-19 soccer team representing the United States
The United States U-19 women's national soccer team is a youth soccer team operated under the auspices of U.S. Soccer . Its primary role is the development of players in preparation for the senior women's national team , as well as bridging the development between the two major youth competition levels of the U-17 and the U-20 .
The United States U-19 became active as the primary youth-level national team in 2001 when the United States Soccer Federation decided to change the age limit from the U-18 to U-19. The move was in preparation for FIFA 's introduction of the first ever FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship (which has since changed to U-20). The new U-19 squad won the inaugural 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Canada, where they beat the hosts on a golden goal by captain and future United States women's national team mainstay Lindsay Tarpley . Five other members of that same team would join Tarpley as teammates on the senior international team: Rachel Buehler , Lori Chalupny , Heather O'Reilly , Leslie Osborne and Angie Woznuk . Other notable 2002 team members were Kelly Wilson , the all-time leading goal scorer in the history of the U-20 team, as well as two-time Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks , who would go on to become one of the most decorated players in women's collegiate soccer.
In 2004, the U-19 team placed third at the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand, after having been defeated by Germany in the semifinals.[ 2] senior national team members Yael Averbuch , Stephanie Lopez , Amy Rodriguez and Megan Rapinoe . 2004 also saw the first loss to a similar-aged team in the history of the program when the squad lost to Japan .
The U-19 team became dormant in 2005 when U.S. Soccer raised the age of the squad from U-19 to U-20. The move was, again, in response to FIFA's altering of the competition age from U-19 to U-20. The team subsequently had only periodic competitions until 2019, when the Federation (under general manager Kate Markgraf ) reinstated all youth-level teams in their own right.
