Junior goalkeeper Kelsey Bing is one of three players who have been added to the U.S. Women's National Field Hockey Team, as announced by head coach Janneke Schopman on Sunday.
Bing is joined by fellow goalkeeper, Kealsie Robles, and midfielder Linnea Gonzales.
"It is a huge honor to be named to the U.S. Women's National Team," commented Bing. "This has always been a goal of mine, so it feels really nice knowing that my hard work has paid off. I am looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities that will come with joining the team."
Bing recently recorded her first international cap with the USWNT in the test series against Belgium in November. A veteran of the Olympic Development Pipeline, she was a member of the U.S. U-17 Women's National Team from 2012-14 before a four-year stint with the U.S. U-21 Women's National Team from 2014-18, and later being named to the 2018 U.S. Women's National Development Squad. She helped the U-21 USWNT claim silver at the 2016 women's Junior Pan American Games in Tacarigua, Trinidad & Tobago and competed at the women's Hockey Junior World Cup in Santiago, Chile.
Shout out to @Kelsey_Bing for picking up the win in her first international cap with Team USA!
