June 15, 2022 | Women's Soccer
CHAPEL HILL – University of North Carolina forward Sam Meza is one of 21 players to be named to the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Team for a trip to Sweden during the upcoming international break for friendlies against India and the hosts in the Women's U-23 Three-Nations Tournament.
The USA will face India on June 25 in Helsingborg in the first-ever match between a U.S. Women's National Team and the country that will host the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in October. The USA will face Sweden on June 28 in Vittsjo. Australia was scheduled to participate in this tournament but withdrew, making it a three-team competition.
A second-team All-ACC performer in 2021, Meza started all 16 games that she played and logged over 980 minutes (61.5 mpg). She scored game-winning goals against Arkansas and Miami while assisting on a goal in the tie versus Florida State. Meza was also a second-team All-Atlantic Region selection by United Soccer Coaches. The Dallas native previously competed for the U.S. Under-17 and Under-20 Women's National teams.
Former Carolina standout Brianna Pinto, now a member of the North Carolina Courage, was also called up to the team.
