What's Happening with the U-20's?

Phantom - your enthusiasm for all things Keelin is truly inspiring! I am getting excited just reading your posts, especially that last one...

Wow - Keelin is really taking off. It she has to redshirt 2008 to play in the U-20 Women's World Cup, so be it.

And, isn't Lauren an assistant coach for the Region IV ODP team? My impression has been that she has a very significant role in the recruiting process. And, with Lisa Sari working on upping her coaching creds, what a great staff they have put together! Plus, they're obviously going through a transition from recruiting on the West Coast to recruiting throughout the US. Very, very ambitious.
