Lawson will lead a women's World Cup roster comprised of Cierra Burdick, Lauren Cox, Ashley Joens and Hailey Van Lith.
Burdick is a 2015 Tennessee graduate and a multiple gold-medal winner as a National Team player on both the five-on-five teams and the 3x3 squads. Cox is a 2020 Baylor grad and making her 3x3 debut. Joens, who will play a fifth collegiate season at Iowa State in 2022-23, is also a five-on-five National Team veteran.
