CHICAGO – U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Tab Ramos announced Indiana University men's soccer standouts Griffin Dorsey and Justin Rennicks as part of the 20-player roster for the 2018 Concacaf U-20 Championship.
The 2018 Concacaf U-20 Championship will take place at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. from Nov. 1-21. The top four teams will qualify for the 2019 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, set for May 23 to June 15 in Poland.
Indiana is the only school in the country to have two players selected. In total, only four collegiate players were selected for the squad.
"We are excited to have Justin and Griffin selected to represent our U-20 National Team," IU head men's soccer coach Todd Yeagley remarked. "They join a distinguished list of IU players who have represented the USA. They have both worked hard to earn this call up and we look forward to seeing the USA qualify for this summer's U2-0 World Cup."
As the defending champions and the tournament's top seed, the U.S. was drawn into Group A and opens the tournament against Puerto Rico on Nov. 1. The Americans will then face the U.S. Virgin Islands (Nov. 3), Trinidad and Tobago (Nov. 5), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Nov. 7) and Suriname (Nov. 9).
Following round-robin group play, the top team in each of the six groups will advance to the qualification stage, where they will be divided into two groups of three. After a second edition of round-robin play, the two group winners plus the second-place finishers will advance to the tournament final to determine the regional champion.
Teams qualifying for the qualification stage will be permitted to amend the 20-player roster and replace up to six players within 24 hours following the group stage.
Both Dorsey and Rennicks have been key contributors for the Hoosiers this season. Dorsey has four goals and three assists on the year, while Rennicks is second on the team with five goals.
