Corrick etched her name in the record books during her time at USF, setting 39 USF and AAC records. She tossed two perfect games and nine no-hitters. She was named the AAC Pitcher of the Year four times, the AAC Rookie of the Year, NFCA and Softball America Pitcher of the Year, as well as the NCAA Triple Crown.
Great Britain will face world No. 1 USA along with No. 3 Chinese Taipei, No. 9 Australia, host nation, and No. 17 Ireland and No. 43 Botswana. An additional 12 countries will compete in Group B and Group C, played in Valencia, Spain, and Castions di Strada & Buttrio, Italy later in July.
