Webster Named to New Zealand National Team Pool

Senior Guard Looks to Help New Zealand Qualify for the Rio Olympics

Lincoln – Rising senior Tai Webster (Auckland, New Zealand) was one of 14 players named to New Zealand’s national team pool for the 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament Tuesday evening.

Webster, a 6-foot-4, 196-pound guard, will make his first appearance for the New Zealand national team since the 2014 FIBA World Cup. He has been a member of his country’s national team since making his debut at the 2012 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

Webster will spend most of June on the road as camp opens on June 7 before the team is trimmed to 12 players.
