Cal women's basketball completed the finest season in the history of the program when it reached the Final Four this year. There was more good news Sunday, as forward Reshanda Gray got the call to represent her country at the 2013 Women's World University Games.
California forward Reshanda Gray is one of 12 athletes that has been selected to compete for the United States at the 2013 Women's World University Games, which was announced Sunday by the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee after three days of trials that included 33 of the nation's top collegiate athletes at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
The 2013 World University Games (WUGs) women's basketball competition will be held July 8-15 in Kazan, Russia. Organized by the International University Sports Federation (FISU) and held every other year, the WUGs is a multi-sport competition open to men and women who are between the ages of 17 and 24 (born 01/01/89 through 12/31/95). The USA Basketball women's team will regroup in Colorado Springs for training June 25-July 1 before traveling to Russia to compete.
Gray, a rising junior from Los Angeles, Calif., averaged 8.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in less than 20 minutes of action. An All-Pac-12 selection as a freshman, the 6'3 forward impressed the national pundits with her defense and strong offensive play that was especially evident in the NCAA Tournament. In her lone start of the season against Utah, Gray put up 19 points and eight rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting. She finished fourth in the Pac-12 with her .510 field goal percentage.

Weaver's teammate, Michael Kim, was one of three finalists for the prestigious Ben Hogan award. Kim was beaten out for the honor, however, by Washington's Chris Williams, the top-ranked amateur golfer in the world.
