CHICAGO – Rising sophomore Manny Perez of the NC State men's soccer team has earned another call up to the U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team, the United States Soccer Federation announced recently. The 2017 Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Year has been selected alongside 19 other players by U-20 head coach and former Wolfpack star Tab Ramos to take part in a 12-day training camp that will start in Florida and end in Honduras.
While in Honduras, Perez and the U-20s will play the Honduras National Team on May 17 and 19 in San Pedro Sula.
