Three More D3 Players are Called Up to National Teams in 2023
Wouldn’t you know, you write a post about three players getting called up to their respective U23 national teams, and you find out there were more? Well, come to find out that three more players had the honor of being called up. Anthony Quidichay, Chatham University , Kyle Lau of Pomona-Pitzer, and Josh Gonzaga of Carroll University received the phone call to participate in the Guam, Hong Kong and Philippines U23 teams. Starting to think this is probably as under reported as it gets. Whither SoccerAmerica?
This breaks the stigma of what DIII is and what It’s become…it’s a very serious thing when you have players like Josh that can excel in our conference and do the things, he’s done to gain attention on the international level… Carroll University Head coach Derek Marie
