Here is my annual list of graduating seniors and key returnees for the teams in the recently concluded Women's College World Series, as well as other top players not in the WCWS. To construct the lists, I looked at the NFCA and Easton All-America teams, finalists for Player of the Year, and various All-Region and All-Conference teams.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON... Here's how I live-blogged the final at-bats of the game: Washington is two outs away from the national championship, leading Florida 3-2 in the top of the seventh. But the Gators just got a double, putting the tying run on second... The next batter walks, putting runners on first and second... Strike-out, the Huskies are one out away... And another strike-out... THE HUSKIES ARE THE CHAMPIONS! Here's an article posted tonight on the UW athletics site about the championship.

Washington gets an easy win over Florida tonight in Game 1 of the NCAA Women's College World Series final round and thus stands just one win away from the championship.
