SENIOR WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM (in alphabetical order) – NACHC CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL ROSTER
Ashley Butler, Ariane Clerc, Sophie Fasold, Lani Gronwald, Ia Hannevik, Elizabeth Hartnett Wyatt, Sarah Hollis, Daisy Licea, Laisha Martinez, Natasha Muller, Saga Nordin, Maya Ready, Lucille Ryan-Oye, Maria Vallone, Marie Ann Wohlfahrt, Maxime Wohlfahrt
Sarah Gascon will lead the team in her first tournament as head coach of the Senior Women's National Team. The tournament field will be rounded out by Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The teams are slotted into one group, playing round robin matches, before the medal matches on Saturday, April 12.
Seven players - Butler, Clerc, Fasold, Hartnett Wyatt, Licea, Martinez, and Vallone - were also on the roster at the 2023 North America and Carribbean Handball Confederation Senior Women's Championship.
"Heading into the NACHC tournament, we’re proud of the dynamic makeup of our roster—a strategic blend of seasoned veterans, emerging young talent, and passionate debutants," Gascon said. "Our veterans bring invaluable leadership and composure under pressure, the younger players contribute energy and fresh perspectives, and our newcomers are hungry to make their mark."
Ia Hannevik and Maya Ready look to make an impact on the Senior Women's National Team, as they secured a Gold Medal and a Junior Pan American Games berth in Mexico City last week with the Junior squad.
"This balanced group gives us depth, versatility, and a strong sense of unity. It is both a privilege and an incredible honor to represent the United States on the international stage, and we’re committed to competing with heart, purpose, and pride," Gascon added.
