Eurobasket once again returns to Portugal with its 6th team since 2019 to face the local professional clubs with players searching for professional opportunities. This year’s tour started against Gafanha and a familiar face in Lillian Brown (175-G-1998, college: NKU). Brown is a past tour participant who will be entering her 3rd professional season.

A pair of guards were the other two Eurobasket members in double figures. Eden Billups-Campbell (168-G) from Park University finished with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals while Shirliz Apiyo from Canadian Mennonite University finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds.
