San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Earthquakes Academy goalkeeper and Alamo native JT Marcinkowski has been called to United States U-18 National Team duty ahead of friendlies against Mexico and Canada.

Marcinkowski will join the USA in camp from April 4-13 at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif. The Americans host Canada on Tuesday, April 8 and Mexico on Saturday, April 12.
