University of Iowa forward Hannah Stuelke was selected to participate in the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s Americup Team trials which begin June 17 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. In total, 21 players were selected by the USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team Committee.
In a release from the University of Iowa, Cori Close, USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team Committee chair, said. “About half of these young women have already claimed a gold medal with USA Basketball, so they bring great international experience with them. They are sure to be fierce competitors at trials. We look forward to choosing the group who will best represent the U.S. at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup.”
Stuelke is 1-of-7 participants that will be making their USA Basketball debuts.
Kara Lawson of Duke University will serve as head coach with assistant coaches DeLisha Milton-Jones of Old Dominion University and Jennie Baranczyk of the University of Oklahoma.
Following the selection of the 2025 USA Women’s AmeriCup Team and a training camp in Colorado Springs, the United States will travel to Santiago, Chile, for the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, set for June 28-July 6. The winner of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup will earn a berth to the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup, set to be held in Berlin next summer.
