Dohle was a backup keeper in her first year at Penn State. The Scarsdale, New York native will fight for the starting role in 2020 after Amanda Dennis signed with the Houston Dash of the NWSL. Prior to ending up at Penn State, Dohle played for the United States in the 2018 U-17 Women’s World Cup.
Dohle will be one of just two goalkeepers on the roster that will travel to the Dominican Republic, and she will compete with UNC’s Claudia Dickey for the job.
The United States will begin its campaign on Saturday against Cuba. Honduras and hosts Dominican Republic complete four-team Group A. The top three squads will advance to the knockout phases, which will feature the final 16 teams.
