Alabama Heavily Represented on Team USA Wheelchair Team: Roll Call, June 16, 2025

Alabama women's wheelchair basketball won its fifth straight national title back in April, reminding the nation of just how much of a chokehold it has on the sport. Much of that Crimson Tide roster will now get to play for Team USA at the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation Americas Cup in Bogota, Colombia.

Abby Bauleke, Elizabeth Floch, Ixhelt Gonzalez, and Bailey Moody, all active members of Alabama's team, were selected to the roster. Lindsey Zurbrugg, an alum who is also an assistant coach, is also on the roster, as is Emily Oberst, who started her career with the Crimson Tide before transferring to Illinois— meaning that six of the 12 players on the national team at one point played for Alabama. Rising sophomore Skylar Scarnecchia was also named as an alternate.

Most of these players also represented America at the 2024 Paralympic Games, where the US won silver. Head coach Ryan Hines will be an assistant on the team, and team trainer Alex Curry will fill that role. The tournament will be held in August and will also serve as a qualifier for the 2026 World Championships.
