for the Pan American games. Sabrina and Ruthie join UConn players Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Christyn Williams. It's an interesting choice since Oregon had won the national championship again in May but UConn was only 7th. Ionescu & Hebard were on both NC teams along with Gildon. Giomi replaced Boley on this years National Championship team.

Last year with no PAN Am games, the 4 Duck players who won in 2018 NC played together in the World championship in the Philippines. They lost to an experienced Italy team in the knockout quarters after winning all matches in their group stage including dominating the Silver medal experienced Russian team. They were the youngest team last year in the World Championships. This year the USA women did not play in the world championship in Netherlands won by China.
