Sophomore Alana Snow has been named to the Great Britain Olympic Qualifying Roster, as announced by the British Softball Federation.
Snow is one of 15 players who will compete for the GB, which will play at the 2019 WBSC European Championship (June 30-July 6) in the Czech Republic. The top six teams from that tournament will move on to compete at the eight-team Europe/Africa Olympic Qualifying Tournament (July 23-28) in The Netherlands.
Great Britain is in Group D in the 23-team field, along with Croatia, Germany, Greece and Switzerland. There is a chance that Snow could face a teammate in the European Championship, as senior Zoe Shaw is a member of the Team Israel Qualifying Roster.
Great Britain hasn't finished lower than fifth in the European Championship since 2001, and is currently ranked third in Europe.
Snow has played in 17 games this season for the Bruins, scoring four runs and making one assist at second base. She appeared in one game as a pinch-runner in 2018. Snow, who was born in Chertsey, England, has played with the Great Britain National program since she was 14, competing at several European National and World Championships. Team GB won its first-ever under-19 European title in 2017.
