FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas goalkeeper Keegan Smith will join 19 other women’s soccer players from around the United States in Spain as a member of the U-19 U.S. Women’s National Team.

The team will arrive in Spain on Feb. 15 and begin preparation for its first match, against the Netherlands, on Thursday, Feb. 20 at Estadio Rico Perez in Alicante, Spain. The Americans will then take on England on Sunday, Feb. 23 in Alicante and finish on Wednesday, Feb. 26 versus Spain at a location to be determined.

Each team will play each other once with three points for a win and one point for a tie. The tiebreakers are goal difference, then goals scored and then Fair Play Ranking.

Smith is coming off a solid freshman season in goal for Arkansas.

Smith tallied 65 saves and picked up 11 shutouts, seven in SEC play, to tie the single-season program record for most solo shutouts. Her .62 goals-against average is the second-lowest mark for a single season in program history.
