The Wichita State women’s basketball team is set to feature eight international players on its roster –Melissa Secchiaroli, Nhug Bosch Duran, Tanya Platonova, Carla Bremaud, Carla Budane, Seraphine Bastin, Jane Asinde, and Jayze’Lee Waihi – the most since Keitha Adams took over as head coach back in 2017.
During Adams’ tenure, she placed a focus on international recruiting and has had at least four international players each season at WSU.
Ewa Laskowska has been the primary international recruiter, largely due to her experience as an international student-athlete. Laskowska, originally from Poland, started her collegiate career at Independence Community College under Adams.
