CHAMPS

PRESENTED BY When Canada and Mexico softball played for the bronze medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics, college softball fans may have recognized a few names. And some maybe remembered just about all of them. That's because the two teams' 15-player rosters were made up entirely of former NCAA student-athletes. Canada ended up winning, 3-2, to secure the bronze medal. Emma Entzminger drove in a pair of runs in the second and Kelsey Harshman brought in the decisive run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Here's a quick look at the rosters. .

That included former Washington star Danielle Lawrie, whose 136 career victories ranks sixth and 1,733 strikeouts rank fourth all-time in Division I. Lawrie also won MOP honors as the 2009 Women's College World Series, where the Huskies won their first national championship.
