Virginia softball coach Eileen Schmidt was selected as one of 24 coaches in the 2011-12 Women's National Team Coaching pool, the Amateur Softball Association of America and USA Softball announced Monday. As a member of the pool, Schmidt will be considered for assistant coaching positions at the Women's and Junior Women's National Team events beginning this summer. Now in her fourth season coaching at Virginia, Schmidt, a former softball standout for the Cavaliers, led the team to an outstanding 2010 season. The Cavaliers finished second in the ACC standings and received their first-ever NCAA Tournament bid after totaling a school-record 13 conference victories. Schmidt's coaching predecessor, Karen Johns, was also announced as head coach of the Junior Women's National Team. Johns coached Virginia in 2006 and 2007 and served as an assistant coach for the Women's National Team from 2005 to 2008, when she won a World Championship and a silver medal at the Olympic Games
