COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina women’s basketball incoming freshman Kelsi Andrews is among the 12 athletes who will represent the United States at the 2026 FIBA U18 Women’s AmeriCup later this month, USA Basketball announced today. The tournament is set for June 9-15 in Irapuato, Mexico, and the team will hold a four-day training camp prior to traveling to Mexico.

Andrews has two previous USA Basketball selections, competing in the 2024 FIBA U17 World Cup and the 2023 FIBA U16 AmeriCup and helping the U.S. claim gold in both. Edwards has participated in USA Basketball camps and trials each of the last three years.
