The next opportunity to be part of the U.S. Women’s National Team’s journey to contend at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in the U.S. is marked for mid-May at the Home of Hockey’s Spooky Nook Sports in Lancaster, Pa. International threat Ireland, with an FIH World Ranking of 14, will meet the red, white and blue for three test matches.  This International Series serves as the final round of preparation matches for the United States before they make their way to Valencia for World League Round 3, the first opportunity for the USWNT to qualify for the Olympic Games.

The last meeting between the two teams came in May 2014, where Team USA beat Ireland 3-1 to win the Champions Challenge title.

“We are very much looking forward to hosting Ireland here in Lancaster for the test series in May,” said U.S. Women’s National Team Head Coach Craig Parnham. “The games will be an important part of our preparations as we build towards the Olympic qualifying tournament in Spain.”

After a successful, action-packed series against Argentina in February, Team USA is ready to challenge another tough competitor.
