2008 U23 Women's National Team Roster

I am trying to find out who was on the U23 roster when they came to play against the lady Pilots in 2008. I believe that was the year that they came to play at Merlo. Does anybody have any ideas or a roster they could post on here? Thank you for the help.

Start here:

The pre- camp announcement from USSoccer has this roster , with (ex)Pilots Cory Alexander and Kendra Chandhoke being named to the roster

U.S. U-23 head coach Bill Irwin, who is also the Director of Soccer and head men’s soccer coach at UP, has brought 24 players to the camp, including three who have earned caps with the U.S. Women’s National Team (Yael Averbuch, Tina DiMartino and Becky Sauerbrunn) and seven who have represented the USA at a FIFA youth world championship. Twenty-three of the players are in college or have finished their eligibility with the lone high-school aged call-up being Katy Frierson from Homewood, Ala., who is also a member of the USA’s U-20 WNT Player pool.

The box score isn't attached and I haven't found it

The u23's also came to Merlo in 2009. Those stories are here:

Often when pilots are named to the team they play for the university because of the short rosters in the Spring.
Davis and Tsao were on the u23 squad but played for the Pilots.
