CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Harvard junior defender Lindsey Kowal will participate at the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Team Camp at the The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., Jan. 9-16.

Kowal, a native of East Meadow, N.Y., is a three-time All-Ivy League choice after garnering All-Ancient Eight first-team status in 2010.

Kowal, who started all 17 games for Harvard last season, also earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Region honors. She netted the game-winning goal off a free kick against Cornell Oct. 9, and also assisted on a score at Penn Sept. 24, helping Harvard finish 9-7-1 overall and 4-3 in the Ivy League.
