Career
[edit | edit source]Castain was eligible to play for the United States or Puerto Rico, as she was born in Chicago to a Puerto Rican mother (her father is from California).[1]
In July 2011, Castain was called up by the United States U-20 team for a training camp.[4] Almost six years later, she committed her future to Puerto Rico.[5]
Castain made a non-official debut for Puerto Rico on 22 April 2017, when she started against American college Notre Dame Fighting Irish.[1] Officially, she debuted on 5 May 2018 against Anguilla. She was the top goalscorer for the Boricuas at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship qualification, scoring five times.
