Baseball Victoria is excited to announce the Victorian Women’s State Team which will represent on the national stage at the 2023 Australian Women’s Championship over Easter.
Victoria brought home a silver medal at women’s nationals this past year and will look to build on that success this coming April.
“We had fantastic trials with one of our largest women’s tryout groups representing 15 clubs. Many talented juniors and Barclay Cup representatives stepped up and tried out alongside our seasoned veterans, and it was great to see such strong interest across the board,” BV Women’s Head Coach Samantha Hamilton said. “We have selected a very strong team to represent at nationals, as well as two Emerging Pathway players who will train with the team leading up to the tournament.”
The Victorian Women’s State Team last won nationals in 2019, and the goal of a gold medal finish is shared among the coaches, players and supporters.
“Thank you to everyone who tried out and congratulations to our 2023 Victorian Women’s State Team,” BV CEO Chet Gray said. “We look forward to the next few months of training and preparation, and we can’t wait to watch the best of women’s baseball as nationals get underway.”
Stay tuned for more tournament updates coming soon.
