The team is currently in Day 4 of a five-day mini training camp as they prepare for departure on Saturday, August 2nd.
Out-of-town players have arrived, and the full squad is training together each evening from Sunday through Thursday. Friday will be a rest day before they fly out on Saturday.
Their first stop is Lisbon, Portugal, where they’ll play two games—against Virginia Wesleyan University and North Central College—and hold two practices.
Beyond the court, the team will explore Lisbon through guided tours of the Old Town, St. Jorge Castle (pictured above), Lisbon Cathedral, and Mercado Fusão. They'll also enjoy a catamaran tour with opportunities for swimming and paddleboarding.
Next, they’ll head to Seville, Spain, for one more game—against Illinois Wesleyan University. Along the way, the team will also visit the stunning National Palace of Sintra.
The Herd returns home on Monday, August 11th.
The travel party includes 16 players, three coaches, and an athletic therapist.
This international tour offers an incredible opportunity for team development, cultural enrichment, and high-level competition.
We wish the team all the best on their upcoming trip and look forward to sharing updates along the way.
Go Bisons!
