Former Notre Dame center Lauren Ebo is an Olympian.
On Wednesday, Team Nigeria announced their Olympic roster, and it includes the Washington, D.C., native who finished her collegiate career as a graduate student at Notre Dame in 2022-23. She averaged 9 points and 7 rebounds over 28 games while in South Bend.
Women’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics begins on July 29 with pool play. Nigeria is grouped with Australia, France and Canada and will see those teams in that order. Of note, Ebo will face former Irish post Natalie Achonwa and current Irish wing Cassandre Prosper when Nigeria plays Canada on August 4.
Ebo is the fifth former Notre Dame player that will be in Paris, joining the aforementioned Achonwa and Prosper plus Team USA’s Jewell Loyd and Jackie Young.
