South Dakota junior Abigail Fogg has earned a roster spot on Canada’s 2015 Development Women’s National Basketball Team.
The 6-foot-4-inch center redshirted the 2014-15 season after transferring from American University.
She has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Hailing from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Fogg will represent her native country at the International University Sports Federation (FISU) Games July 5-13 in Gwangiu, South Korea.
“I could not be more excited,” said Fogg. “It has been my dream since I was young to compete for my country and I am grateful to have this opportunity. I definitely would not be here if it were not for the love and support of my family, friends, teammates and coaches. I am blessed to have such great people in my life and such a great opportunity ahead of me.”
Fogg was one of 22 athletes invited to a tryout for the team, held June 6-9 at the University of Toronto’s Goldring Centre. Since making the roster, Fogg began a 10-day training camp at the Goldring Centre under head coach Fabian McKenzie. The squad will travel to China for an exhibition tournament June 22-28 prior to the FISU Games.
At the FISU Games, Canada will have guaranteed games against Hungary, Korea and Mozambique, before advancing to the playoff rounds. The complete schedule is below.
