Sarah Martin has been invited to participate in the first-of-its-kind Women’s College Talent ID Camp, U.S. Soccer announced Monday. The camp will take place June 18–22 in Atlanta, home of the new Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center.
Martin, a goalkeeper from Champlin, Minn., is one of 42 players selected. The camp is part of U.S. Youth National Teams’ evolving scouting strategy aimed at increasing programming opportunities for college players with high potential, with the goal of expanding the U.S. under-18, under-19 and under-20 women’s national team player pools.
Last season, Martin started all 22 matches for the Golden Gophers in goal. She finished the year with 60 saves and a 0.714 goals-against average, ranking sixth all-time in Minnesota’s single-season records. She recorded seven shutouts, including three straight: at Illinois (Sept. 12), vs. North Dakota State (Sept. 15), and vs. Michigan (Sept. 19).
Martin is one of 14 Big Ten players selected and the only Minnesotan invited.
