CLEARWATER, Fla. - Freshmen Megan Faraimo and Kelli Godin have both been named to the 2019 USA Softball Junior Women's National Training Team, as announced by USA Softball on Wednesday.

The Bruin duo are a part of the 20-athlete roster that was chosen following a three-day selection process. These athletes will compete in select tournaments and invitational events before the final 17-player roster is chosen for the 2019 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-19 Women's Softball World Cup, which will be held this August in Irvine. Faraimo was invited to the JWNT Selection Trials, while Godin advanced to the Trials after going through an open tryout featuring over 100 athletes.

UCLA, along with Alabama, are the only colleges to have two athletes on the 2019 USA Softball Junior Women's National Training Team. The complete list of National Team events will be released at a later date.
