Charters, USA Play for World Cup Title Monday on ESPN

Ashley Charters and Team USA will play for the championship in the World Cup of Softball presented by Six Flags Monday night at 6 p.m. PT on ESPN2.

Charters has started at second base in all but one game in the World Cup after she made a successful debut with USA in last week's Canada Cup. The former Husky All-American and her USA teammates will take on Australia in the championship looking for their third World Cup title.

Charters did not have to face former teammate Danielle Lawrie this week as Canada held her out of the USA-Canada match up to save Lawrie for a potential championship battle. But Canada dropped a 5-4 decision to Japan on Sunday, giving Australia the spot in the final game. Lawrie and current Husky Jenn Salling both played well for Canada all week and will face Japan again Monday for the bronze before heading to Venezuela for the Pan-Am games in two weeks.
