The provisional 20-man squad is as follows:

Jared Arambula, Carter Arey, Eric Barber, Brian Bell, Gavin Cloy, John Gilbert, Jeremy Lade, Ian Lynch Jason Nelms, Bobbie Nickleberry, Christopher Okon, Michael Paye, Jorge Sanchez, Paul Schulte, Matt Scott, Steven Serio, Nathan Hinze, Chris Kommer, Ryan Neiswender and Jacob Williams.
