Gamecock freshman Joyce Edwards and USA Basketball go for the gold in the U18 AmeriCup tournament beginning on Monday in Bucaramanga, Colombia.
Edwards is seeking her second gold medal in as many years. She also won gold at the U19 World Cup last summer. Edwards was joined on that team by Chloe Kitts, and the now-teammates were two of Team USA’s biggest contributors.
Edwards is the third Gamecock to participate in the U18 AmeriCup, following A’ja Wilson and Tyash Harris.
USA Basketball has won the AmeriCup 12 times, including 10 straight. The Americans’ all-time record in the tournament is 70-2.

June 20 is a rest day when the teams will be seeded for the quarterfinals. Play resumes on June 21 with a single elimination tournament.
All games will be streamed on the FIBA YouTube Channel.

June 17 vs Brazil – 4:10 PM ET
June 18 vs Puerto Rico – 4:10 PM ET
