CHANTILY, VA (October 25, 2002) - D.C.

The tournament will take place at Blackbaud Stadium in Charleston, S.C., with doubleheaders on Nov. 13, 15 and 17. El Salvador is joined by the United States, Haiti and Canada in Group B, with the top two teams advancing to the FIFA World Youth Championship in the United Arab Emirates from March 25 - April 16, 2003.

The 19-year-old Quintanilla tallied two goals and two assists in nine appearances (all starts) this season after joining United near the end of the campaign on July 22.
