(CORVALLIS, Ore. ) - Oregon State senior Ali Gibson left Corvallis on Wednesday and is heading to Puerto Rico to begin training with the Puerto Rican National Team, which is scheduled to play exhibitions in the United States from July 10-20 before heading to Mexico for the Centrobasket Championship for Women at the end of the month.

This will be Gibson’s second go-around with Puerto Rico, as she participated in last August’s “Super Four” Tournament in São Paulo, Brazil, playing the likes of the host Brazilians, Argentina and Canada.
