Ashley Gomez Set to Participate in FISU America Games
07.13.18 | Women's Basketball
CINCINNATI - Xavier women's basketball player Ashley Gomez is slated to participate in the upcoming FISU America Games in São Paulo, Brazil on July 20-29.
The junior guard will travel to USA Team camp on July 14-18 in Xenia, Ohio. Gomez and her teammates will travel to Brazil on July 19.
Gomez will not only compete in the basketball tournament, but will also participate in a variety of faith-based mission projects through Athletes in Action (AIA). The basketball tournament will consist of teams from Brazil, USA, Columbia, Chile and Mexico.
The Oklahoma City, Okla., native will provide fans with a blog on her experiences on GoXavier.com that will also be shared on the Xavier women's basketball team's social media accounts.
The FISU America Games are a multi-sport event sanctioned by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). Alternating with the Summer and Winter Universiades, which invite all the countries of the world for the biennial events, the FISU America Games are a regional multi-sport event similar to the Pan-American Games for FISU member-countries of North and South America held in even-numbered years.
The 2018 Games will be the inaugural FISU America Games held in São Paulo, Brazil, July 20-29, 2018. All sports except soccer and futsal will be played at the newly-constructed Brazilian Paralympic Center.
