Three Sky Blue FC players — Imani Dorsey, Sarah Killion and Paige Monaghan — Wednesday were named to the 24-player roster for a U.S. women’s national team identification camp that will take place in Bradenton, Fla. Dec. 9-14.

Those three National Women’s Soccer League players have never played for the USWNT. Dorsey is a defender, Killion a midfielder and Monaghan a forward.

Head coach Vlatko Andonovski’s second training camp roster – he officially came on board on Oct. 28 – will not include any players from the U.S.’s World Cup team.

This event is being staged to evaluate younger players from the college game and those who have performed well in the National Women’s Soccer League or in pro leagues abroad, with the goal of deepening the player pool and positioning players for possible future call-ups in 2020.
