SAN JOSE, Calif. - U.S. Soccer announced today that Bay FC midfielder Taylor Huff and goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz have each been selected to the U.S. U-23 Women's National Team for training and matches during the April international window. Huff and Silkowitz will join Head Coach Heather Dyche's 24-player squad as it heads to Spain to take on the Netherlands April 10, Denmark April 13 and France or Scotland April 16 in the WU23 Friendly Finals competition.

Huff's invitation marks her first to a national team program in 2026 and her fifth as a member of Bay FC. The Florida State product earned four invitations to the U.S. ranks in 2025, most recently during the October 2025 international window. She has tallied 180 minutes across two appearances for Bay FC so far in 2026, scoring one goal March 21 vs. Angel City FC.

Silkowitz will join a national team program for the second time this year. She represented the United States' senior squad in the November and January international windows and was selected to the matchday roster for friendly action vs. Paraguay in Santa Barbara Jan. 27. Silkowitz has played every minute for Bay FC so far in 2026, tallying two saves.

Huff and Silkowitz are two of four "overage" players named to the camp roster. Due to a common agreement with European teams, each roster is allowed to have up to five "overage" players on their rosters for these matches, born on or after Jan. 1, 2003. Silkowitz and Huff are joined by forwards Riley Tiernan (Angel City FC) and Reilyn Turner (Portland Thorns FC).

The U.S. U-23's will open competition April 10 with a friendly match at Estadio Nueva Condomina in Muricia, Spain against the Netherlands U-23 WNT, before facing the Denmark U-23 WNT on April 13 at Pinatar Arena. Its opponent April 16 will be determined by the result against Denmark; if the squad defeats Denmark, it will play the winner of a France-Scotland U-23 match, if the USA loses to Denmark, it will play the loser of France-Denmark.

Bay FC is back in action from PayPal Park this Sunday, April 5 as the Washington Spirit visits the Bay Area.
