CHICAGO (AP) - Kristine Lilly, who has not played for the United States since December 2008, is among 24 women selected for a training camp ahead of exhibition games against Mexico on March 28 at San Diego and March 31 at Sandy, Utah.
The 38-year-old midfielder has 129 goals in a world record 342 international appearances, but has not played for the national team since an appearance as a substitute against China in December 2008, five months after giving birth. If she appears in another international match, she would have played for the United States in four decades.
Four players selected have no international experience for the national team: defenders Whitney Engen and Brittany Taylor, and forwards Alex Morgan and Kelley O'Hara.
