NSWIS trio earns Hockeyroos selection

Three NSWIS athletes have been selected on the Australian women’s hockey team for the FIH World League Semi Final in Belgium.

Rising star Mariah Williams will make her first appearance at a major international tournament after securing Hockeyroos selection, one of only three players who were not part of the team’s World Cup and Commonwealth Games successes in 2014.

The youngster is joined by fellow NSWIS athletes Casey Sablowski and Emily Smith, with Sablowski returning to the team following a stint in the Dutch domestic hockey competition.

The FIH World League Semi Final takes place in Antwerp, Belgium from 21 June – 4 July, with the top three teams from the tournament earning 2016 Olympic Games qualification.
