A pair of Stanford sisters will represent USA Basketball at the World University Games in China in mid-August.
Nnemkadi and Chiney Ogwumike were both named to the 12-woman roster on Wednesday. The duo averaged a combined 29.2 points per game last season.
En route to her third Final Four appearance in as many years, Nnemkadi led the Pac-10 in scoring and was a finalist for the Wade Trophy, Naismith Trophy and Wooden Award. The rising senior also made her mark in the postseason, earning Most Outstanding Player honors at both the Pac-10 tournament and the Spokane Regional.
As a freshman, Chiney was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, averaging double-digits in points per game while posting a 57.4 shooting percentage.
Team USA won gold at the World University Games two years ago, when former Cardinal players Jeanette Pohlen and Kayla Pedersen were on the squad.
