Jul 01 | Women's Basketball
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — The Rutgers women's basketball team is set to participate in the fourth FISU America Games in Lima, Peru from July 18-28.
The Scarlet Knights will face international competition as the tournament welcomes university athletes from 18 countries across North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, marking the largest country field in event history.
"This trip is about much more than the games we'll play in Peru," head coach Gary Redus said. "It's an opportunity to accelerate our growth as a team heading into the 2026-27 season. We'll have the chance to compete against quality international competition, build chemistry and continue establishing our identity and the standard we've been working toward so far this summer. Those experiences are invaluable this time of year, and they'll help prepare us for the upcoming season."
Over 300 student-athletes will represent the United States across 15 sports, making this the largest team UniUSA has ever sent to a FISU America Games. This year's UniUSA team includes student-athletes from more than 120 colleges and universities, reflecting the depth and diversity of collegiate athletics across the country. The roster features athletes from Power Four programs including Indiana, North Carolina, Purdue, Rutgers and Washington.
"We're excited to represent Rutgers and the United States, but we're also focused on using every practice, every game and every moment together to become the best team we can be," Redus added.
