Kowalik Leads the Way as Series 3 Begins
AUSL All-Star Cup Moves on to Series 3
The Athletes Unlimited All-Star Cup moves into Series 3 on Sunday, August 24, with action beginning at 3:00 PM EDT. Team Coffey will face Team Ricketts on ESPNU, followed by Team Kowalik against Team Netz on ESPN+.
Kayla Kowalik separated herself in Series 2 and currently leads the competition with 860 total points. Keilani Ricketts sits in second with 604, Danieca Coffey is third at 550, and Devyn Netz is close behind at 530.
Kowalik has been a dominant force so far. Through four games, she is slashing .600/.600/1.000 with one home run, five RBIs, and three runs scored across 15 total bases. She has earned MVP honors in all four games, including three consecutive MVP 1 selections.
Keilani Ricketts has also delivered in the circle. She holds a 1-0 record with a 1.00 ERA, a .231 opponent batting average, and five strikeouts to just one walk over seven innings pitched.
As the AUSL All-Star Cup heads into Series 3, the spotlight will be on whether Kowalik can extend her lead or if Ricketts, Coffey, Netz, or others can close the gap and make a push in the standings. The stage is set for another exciting series of competition, and the rosters for each squad are now locked in.
Now that everyone is back from their commitments in the World Games, Series 3 will be back to four teams. Check out the rosters below.
