Women's Basketball Taiwan Trip

Facing competition outside of their home courts in northwestern Pennsylvania is a regular occurrence for Edinboro University’s women’s basketball team. It’s not often they play out of state, let alone out of the country. But that’s about to change.

Nine Fighting Scots will represent the University, the Commonwealth and the nation when they travel to Taiwan Sunday (Aug. 8) for 10 days of touring Taiwanese universities, building relationships with Edinboro’s partner institutions, exploring the culture and, most importantly, competing against some of Taiwan’s best basketball players – including one game against a men’s team.
