Amber Munerlyn, a junior on the Blues U17 Draluck team and Stanford commit, was among the 18 players who made the cut to travel with the U.S. Under-17 Women's National Team in a couple of weeks to a two-week tournament in Spain.

That event will serve as a warm-up for the CONCACAF Under-17 Women's World Cup Qualifying tournament in Guatemala from May 2-13.

This week, Munerlyn took part in a domestic training camp in Sunrise, Fla., during which 24 players were evaluated over a pair of friendly victories against Germany.

Munerlyn started both matches, her dad Cubby said, though she was somewhat limited by a slight groin strain.

"Amber still made an impact in the game, and the coach talked to her after the game and told her, 'Hey, I'm taking you to Spain,'" "She's happy that she made it, but at the same time shes consoling some of her other teammates that didn't make it. She has mixed feelings right now, but she'll celebrate her success and achievement in a few days after she sees her teammates are OK."

But first, she'll celebrate by taking the ACT in Florida on Saturday morning.

At the upcoming CONCACAF qualifier, the finalists and third-place match winner will qualify for the 2012 FIFA Under-17 Women's World Cup which will take place from Sept. 22-Oct. 13 in Azerbaijan. Congratulations Amber, we are proud of you!
