An International Take on Golden Hurricane Basketball

Tulsa's 2025-26 squad features seven international student-athletes on the 15-player roster.

This year, Layla-J Cameron (Gold Coast, Australia), Laura Di Stefano (Rome Italy), Abby Jegede (Toronto, Canada), Gina Nikola Pirjak (Jezera, Croatia), Hannah Riddick (Calgary, Alberta), Teresa Seppala (Tampere, Finland) and Dora Toman (Budapest, Hungary) are all set to don the Royal Blue and Old Gold for the first time this season.
Di Stefano (Italy), Seppala (Finland), Pirjak (Croatia) and Toman (Hungary) are the first players from their respective countries to play for the Golden Hurricane women's basketball team.
