Blue Devil Tandem to Travel to Spain with U.S. U-19 Squad – Duke University

DURHAM – The Duke women’s soccer tandem of Mia Oliaro and Cameron Roller have been selected two of 20 players for the U.S. Under-19 Women’s Youth National Team that will travel to Alicante, Spain for a training camp and two matches against Spain. 
 
The USA will face Spain’s U-19s on May 31 (Noon local time / 6 a.m. ET) at and June 3 (11 a.m. local time / 5 a.m. ET) with both matches being played at Estadio Municipal Guillermo Amor. Both contests will be streamed live on the Spain FA’s Youtube page and will be available to watch in the United States.
 
Spain is the reigning FIFA U-20 and U-17 Women’s World Cup champions as well as winning the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup last summer.
 
Oliaro, a product of Chapel Hill, N.C., is no stranger to international competition as she was a member of the 2022 U.S. Soccer U-17 World Cup qualifying and CONCACAF Championship youth national team.  The 5-9 forward also competed with the U-17 National Team as well.  Oliaro transferred to Duke this past fall, after playing her freshman campaign at North Carolina.  She appeared in 20 matches as a rookie, while totaling one goal and one assist. 
 
Coming off an impressive freshman season with the Blue Devils, Roller continues to be a mainstay with the U.S. National Team.  She was a member and captain of the U.S. 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup squad and helped the U.S. U-17 team to its fifth CONCACAF U-17 Women’s Championship in 2022.  As a rookie, Roller started 10 of her 13 matches played in 2023 on defense, including the final eight contests of the year.  She helped lead the Blue Devils to five shutouts on the season. 
 
Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2005, are age-eligible for this U-19 WYNT cycle. For this camp, Kveton selected nine players born in 2005 and 11 born in 2006. All players in the U-19 WYNT player pool are age-eligible for the upcoming 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, set for September in Colombia.
 
The roster features nine college players and 11 youth club players.
