A staple on the USA Softball Women’s Slow Pitch National Team since its inception in 2017, the late-Christan Dowling was a mainstay in the U.S. lineup as one of the most impressive hitters in the game. Through her five appearances on the Team USA Border Battle roster, the offensive powerhouse totaled a .529 batting average, seven home runs, 21 RBI and 13 runs scored while being named the 2017 USA Softball Female Athlete of the Year following her dominating performance in the inaugural Border Battle event where she led the team with two home runs, five RBI and a 2.000 slugging percentage. In addition to her international experience, Dowling was a standout in the USA Softball Women’s Open division with 12 First-Team All-American selections, one Most-Valuable-Player selection, nine home run leader titles and six batting leader titles. Adding to her overall success, she was also a member of 10 National Championship squads during her storied playing career. It’s been said that the only thing more impressive than Dowling’s swing was her true passion and dedication to the game.
