OKLAHOMA CITY \u2013 Following a selection camp and series of exhibition games the roster for the 2014 USA Softball Women\u2019s National Team that will compete in a number of events this summer highlighted by the International Softball Federation (ISF) Women\u2019s World Championship is now set as announced today by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball. The 17-person roster will regroup next month for an exhibition game in Morgantown, W. Va. before traveling to Irvine, Calif. for the General Tire World Cup of Softball July 7-13.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis group of 24 athletes that tried out is one of the rarest groups I\u2019ve been around in a long time,\u201d said USA Softball Head Coach Ken Eriksen. \u201cTheir college coaches, parents and teammates need to understand the greatness that is within each and every one of them. As always, it\u2019s a very tough decision to narrow the group to 17 but I\u2019m very excited about the potential this team has.\u201d<\/p>\n
