Zimmerman Representing Team USA at FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series – Columbia University Athletics – Columbia University Athletics
MONTREAL — Columbia women’s basketball alumna Camille Zimmerman ’18CC is representing Team USA at the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Stop in Montreal. The roster, which was announced Thursday, also includes Jordan Reynolds (Tennessee), Breanna Richardson (Mississippi) and Hailey Van Lith (Louisville).
Playing in Group A, the USA began the stop with a perfect 3-0 record on Friday with Zimmerman contributing six points and nine boards. The USA defeated Germany in overtime, 18-16, then got past Austria, 15-14, and edged the Netherlands, 16-14. The 3-0 start advanced the USA directly to the semifinals on Saturday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
Reynolds, Richardson and Zimmerman are current members of Force 10 3×3, the first professional 3×3 women’s basketball teams in the United States.
The USA is hoping to earn an invitation to the 2021 FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Final, which will be played on Sept. 18-19 in Bucharest. The host nation of Romania and the top seven teams in the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series season standings will earn an invitation to the event.
Should the USA advance out of Saturday’s semifinal matchup, they will compete in the finals later that evening at 7:25 p.m. ET against either Spain (3-0) or the winner of Saturday’s second quarterfinal matchup.
An OT win plus a pair of one-possession wins has the 🇺🇸 3-0 & into Saturday’s semifinals at the #3x3WS Montreal stop!
