University of Colorado senior Katie Griffin was named to the U.S. Under-21 women’s national soccer team that will compete in the Nordic Cup from July 16-22 in Stavanger, Norway, coach Jillian Ellis said Wednesday.
Griffin, who ranks second on the Buffaloes’ all-time leading scorer list with 27 goals, was a Big 12 freshman of the year in 2003 and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America all-region selection last season.
The U.S. has won seven straight Nordic Cup titles.
