Alarie and Team USA Earn Second At FIBA 3x3 Stop In Edmonton

EDMONTON – Bella Alarie wrapped up her summer of USA Basketball with one final FIBA 3x3 stop in Edmonton last weekend. Her United States unit placed second, their highest finish of the summer.

Alarie's squad was featured in a tournament with Canada, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic and Poland. The United States won both of its pool games over Italy and Spain advancing to the semifinals. Alarie's team took care of Spain, 21-11, in the semifinals before dropping a close 19-17 affair to Canada in the finals.

This puts a bow on one of the greatest seasons in Princeton history. The two-time Ivy Player of the Year was named a Women's Basketball Coaches' Association (WBCA) Honorable Mention All-American after the Tigers won their second straight Ivy League regular season and Tournament title. She is just the third Tiger to ever reach that milestone, but the first to do so after her junior campaign. The Bethesda, Md., native broke the team's single-season record for points per game (22.8) while her 210 field goals, 525 points, 65 blocks were the second most, her 408 field goal attempts were fourth highest and 10.6 rebounds were sixth. She became the first player since Ellen DeVoe in 1984-85 to average a double-double for an entire campaign.

In the summer, Alarie helped her country earn a silver medal at the Pan American Games. She also led her team make the semifinals at the 3x3 stop in Italy, the quarterfinals in China and the semifinals at the national event in Las Vegas.

What will she do for her senior season? The 2019-20 campaign will get underway Nov. 5 vs. Rider (7 p.m.) at Jadwin Gym.
