Arizona commits Mara Mote, Birna Benonysdottir competing in European U18 Championship

While Adia Barnes and Salvo Coppa are busy running coaching clinics in Europe this week, two of the Arizona Wildcats’ 2019 verbal commits are taking part in the European U18 Championships. The group stage of the U18 got underway this weekend with Latvia’s Mara Mote and Iceland’s Birna Benonysdottir representing their respective countries.

Mote and her teammates are competing in Division A, which is being held in Udine, Italy. The Latvian team will spend the week battling fellow members of Group B to advance.

After two games, they stand at 1-1, opening with a loss to Germany on Saturday and a win over Slovenia today.
