Plain Named Finalist For Australian Olympic Team
February 10, 2020 | Softball
AUSTRALIA - Washington's Gabbie Plain was named one of the 20 finalists for the Australian National Team set to compete at this summer's Olympics in Tokyo. Plain, who will continue to compete with Washington this season, has a chance to be one of the 15 players to make the final Olympics roster, which will be decided in late June.
A two-time All-American, Plain is in her junior season for the Huskies. In her second start of 2020, Plain held Georgia Tech without a hit until one out in the seventh inning, the seventh time in her career that Plain has held an opponent hitless through at least six full innings. She has 49 wins in her career already and has held opponents to fewer than 100 hits in each of her two full seasons, the only Husky ever to record even one season of 100+ innings and 100 or fewer hits allowed.
Plain competed with the Aussie Spirit squad before and recently completed a training camp in Australian before returning to Washington for the 2020 season. She was a part of the Australian squad that swept through the WBSC Asia/Oceania Olympic qualification undefeated.
In addition to Plain's two All-American awards at Washington, she has been named to the All-Pac-12 First Team in each of her two seasons. She has earned seven weekly awards for her play. Academically, Plain was named an NFCA All-American Scholar Athlete in her first season of eligibility for that award.
The Tokyo Olympics will take place this July.
