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.

Text 18 Aug We Are Back In The States

Aug. 18: After spending a day with our hosts, the team’s China Airlines flight left Taiwan at 11 p.m. for a 10+ hour flight to San Francisco. The flight to Cincinatti leaves California at 11:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. Edinboro time) and then we fly to the Pittsburgh Airport. Some players will be meeting familly members in Pittsburgh and will return to their homes until the start of classes.

The U.S. Customs Agents who checked us in at the San Francisco Airport said the players were excellent ambassadors for United States.

Pictures and videos of today’s activities will be posted as soon as possible.
