After a jam-packed summer of classes, practices and international tournaments, the Notre Dame women’s basketball team will head overseas on Saturday for an 11-day foreign tour to Greece and Croatia.
While abroad, the Irish will play a pair of games against club teams. The scrimmages will serve as a first look at the four newcomers on the roster — Anna DeWolfe, Hannah Hidalgo, Becky Obinma and Emma Risch — and will allow the team to put its summer work to the test.
The rest of the time abroad will be spent exploring and embracing the culture on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The team will start in Athens, where everyone will take tours of the Acropolis and Parthenon as well as a boat cruise around islands off of the coast.
The second half of the tour will be spent in Croatia, in both Split and Dubrovnik. There is another island cruise on the docket, this time to the famous Blue Lagoon. The day will end with an evening in Trogir, an island off of the Croatian coast. During the week, time will also be spent in the ancient Croatian cities, seeing sights like the Split Center, Mestrovic Gallery and Walls of Dubrovnik.
Day-by-day updates and photos will be added to the website throughout the trip. Check in to see what the team is up to!
