Three Tide players were named All-Americans (center fielder Brittany Rogers, pitcher/firstbaseman Charlotte Morgan and pitcher Kelsi Dunne).

All-Americans Morgan and Dunne return to the fold to lead Alabama in the 2010 season. On January 16, 2010, the Crimson Tide held their first official practice.[1]
