For just the second time in program history, the Minnesota women's basketball team is embarking on a foreign trip as it is scheduled to travel to Italy, August 8-16.
The team will depart for Rome on Wednesday, August 8 with its first game taking place on Friday evening. In between, planned highlights include a walking tour of local sights and a visit to Vatican City.
Saturday's schedule includes a tour of the Colosseum before traveling to Florence where the team will face German squad TK Hannover Sunday night. While in Florence, the Gophers are also planning to see the Accademia Gallery which is home to Michelangelo's "David."
The final stop on the trip has the squad travel to Venice on Tuesday for a matchup with Italian Select that night. The team will then have one final day in Venice on Wednesday before returning to the United States on Thursday.
