Cerritos College forward Ruben Gonzalez has been selected to the United States under-20 national squad.

The freshman is currently on loan with Chivas USA Academy.  In his first year as a Falcon, Gonzalez recorded seven goals and four assists.

The US under-20 national team is currently competing in the Dallas Cup, which runs until Sunday if it reaches the finals.

“We are very honored for Ruben to be representing our college at the highest of levels,” head coach Benny Artiaga said.

“I am in contact with him every day giving him advice, and mostly encouragement, as he fulfills his dream of playing for our national team,”  he added.

According to Artiaga, Cesar Castillo, Gonzalez’s teammate at both Cerritos and Chivas USA, was also invited to camp but didn’t make it to the final roster.
