University of Louisville catcher Melissa Roth earned first team Amateur Softball Association All-American honors while playing for the Southern California Hurricanes Women's Major Team over the summer. The Hurricanes recorded a fourth place finish in the championship tournament.
"I had a blast playing with this team," said Roth about her summer experience. "Although a lot of us haven't played together before, we all come from the same part of the country, so it was good to play on the same team with other people from my area."
As a freshman for the Cardinals, Roth was third on the team with a .322 batting average with 38 runs, 12 doubles and 22 RBI.
