Three Alabama Crimson Tide softball players are among the top 25 finalists for the most prestigious award in college softball, the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year.

Rogers profile Class: Senior Hometown: Dacula, Ga. High School: Dacula Height: 5-6 Position: Outfield B/T: L/R Deas Says: Brittany makes lightning look slow. I've seen her ground out to the pitcher and be safe at first. Rule of thumb is if the ball bounces twice she's going to be safe at first. She's also a deadly thread on the bases and the best base-stealer in America. The place she has improved the most is in the outfield, judging fly balls and getting a jump to use her speed to rob opponents of base hits.

Morgan profile Class: Junior Hometown: Moreno Valley, Calif. High School: Valley View Height: 5-10 Position: Pitcher / Utility B/T: R/L Deas Says: Charlotte is one of the best pure hitters I have ever seen. She almost always makes solid contact and hardly ever strikes out. More importantly, she gets timely hits in important situations with the game on the line. If I were an opposing coach, I'd walk her. Charlotte has also improved steadily as a pitcher and on any given day is good enough to contain any team in the country.

Dunne profile Class: Sophomore Hometown: Port Orange, Fla. High School: Spruce Creek Height: 6-0 Position: Pitcher B/T: R/R Deas Says: Kelsi was very good as a freshman last year even though she had to play through an injury that later required surgery on her throwing hand. As a sophomore, she's shown more maturity and has handcuffed some of the most potent offenses in the nation. At her best, she's in an elite class as one of the top pitchers in the country, and she's able to put her rare bad outings behind her and come back the next game with her best stuff.
