TORONTO — Notre Dame signee Isabella Sangha will make a pitstop before joining the Irish in South Bend for summer workouts, as the forward has been named to Canada’s U18 Women’s National Team for the upcoming 2026 FIBA U18 Women’s AmeriCup. While Sangha attended high school in South Florida, the 6-3 forward is originally from Toronto.

She also broke the single-game scoring record (41) and single-season scoring record (688).
Sangha will also play volleyball for Notre Dame and is the No. 1 middle blocker recruit in Florida this recruiting cycle.
Of note, Karen and Kevin Keyes Family Head Coach Niele Ivey will also be at the AmeriCup, as she is serving as the head coach for the American U18 squad, her first head coaching appointment for USA Basketball.
