BOSTON - The Boston University women's basketball team and head coach Kelly Greenberg are pleased to announce that in August of 2011 the Terriers will embark on a 12-day tour through Spain. During its stay, BU will visit two major cities in addition to playing four contests against top Spanish competition.
"Basketball clubs in Spain are some of the best in the world and we will most certainly face some of the top competition Europe has to offer," said Greenberg.
The Terriers will travel to Madrid and Barcelona in the program's first international trip in 31 years. The last time BU has traveled outside of the US borders for competition was back during the early 1980s when it played in the McGill Invitational twice (1979-80, 1980-81) in Montreal, Quebec.
"Playing in Spain is a unique opportunity that our entire team is excited and thankful to have," said Alex Young. "The chance to travel overseas and compete against international players is sure to be an incredible experience."
Caroline Stewart added, "We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to go and play in Spain. This is something really special for us."
"I'm beyond excited to experience life outside of the U.S," concluded Chantell Alford. "I always believed basketball had many opportunities to offer, but all I wanted to do was tell Coach `thank you' for giving all of us the opportunity of a lifetime."
The program is in the process of finalizing its itinerary. Continue to check back to GoTerriers.com as more information becomes available.
