The Sooner duo is among 15 finalists vying for 12 spots on the USA roster. Northwestern's Amy Jaeschke, a 6-5 forward, and Boston College's Carolyn Swords, a 6-6 center, were added as finalists Tuesday after it was announced that Stanford's Jayne Appel underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and would not be able to play.

The training camp ends June 25 with the 12-member team then departing for Belgrade, Serbia, and the World University Games that begin July 1.

Arizona State's Charli Turner Thorne heads the USA coaching staff assisted by Suzy Merchant of Michigan State and Julie Rousseau of Pepperdine.
