Super sisters make the final 14

Nneka and Chiney are two of the 14 finalists named today to the 2011 USA Basketball Women’s World University Games Team. The team will eventually be reduced to 12 members who will look to defend USA’s 2009 gold medal at the 2011 World University Games women’s basketball competition August 14-21 in Shenzhen, China.

Nneka says that it obviously feels great to be a finalist. She hopes to bring energy and success to the team. She'd like to win a third gold medal to add to those she won in 2008 with the USA U18 team and in 2009 with the USA U19 team.

Chiney feels that the trials were a struggle for her, but she worked hard the whole time and did her best. She's proud of her effort and glad that the committee saw it.
