Basketball

Delle Donne named to U.S. pool: Former Delaware All-American Elena Delle Donne was one of 29 players named to the 2017-20 USA Basketball Women’s National Team pool from which the 2018 USA World Cup team will be selected.

Delle Donne captured the University of Delaware’s first Olympic gold medal as a member of the USA Basketball Women’s National team at the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Wilmington native earned All-American honors three times during her career with the Blue Hens. The 2015 WNBA Player of the Year and a four-time WNBA All-Star, Delle Donne scored 3,039 career points and led the Blue Hens to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2013.

In continuing its preparations for the 2018 FIBA World Cup of Basketball and future USA Basketball Women’s National team events, available members of the USA pool will participate in a minicamp Feb. 9-11, 2018, at the University of South Carolina. It will mark the second camp under the direction of Dawn Staley, 2017-20 USA Basketball Women’s National team and South Carolina head coach.

As was the case over the past three quadrenniums, the 2017-20 USA National team roster will be fluid. It is expected that the official, 12-member 2018 USA World Cup and 2020 U.S. Olympic teams, should the USA qualify to compete in Tokyo, will be comprised of players from the 2017-20 USA National team.
