She finished up her second season at CSUB this past Fall, where she started in all 16 games for the `Runners. Roggerone rejoins her national team as the second youngest member.
"Cata's call-up for the full Argentine national team to play in such a prestigious international event like the Women's Concacaf Gold Cup is absolutely remarkable. The fact that this event is happening in Los Angeles, and she will be part of matches against the United States make it even more special.
