MORAGA, Calif. – The Saint Mary's men's basketball team announced this week that the Gaels will be heading down under for a 12-day foreign tour beginning the first week of August.
Saint Mary's will begin the tour Aug. 5 when the team arrives in Christchurch, New Zealand; marking the first time Saint Mary's will visit the country. The Gaels will then head to Melbourne, Australia, Hobart, on the island of Tasmania and end the trip in Sydney, Australia.
Per NCAA rules, the Gaels will be allowed 10 practices starting towards the end of July to help prepare for the tour.
Saint Mary's has had a long pipeline of players from Australia under head coach Randy Bennett. This season the Gaels welcome two newcomers from New Zealand as well, making the visit even more special.
Next year's roster features senior Jordan Hunter from Vaucluse, Australia, junior Kyle Clark from Wynyard, Tasmania, junior Tanner Krebs from Hobart, Tasmania and sophomore Jock Perry from Melbourne, Australia. Incoming freshman Alex Mudronja is from Adelaide, Australia, giving the Gaels five players from the Aussie pipeline.
For the first time, Bennett will welcome two players from New Zealand in freshman Quinn Clinton, from Christchurch, and freshman Daniel Fotu from Auckland.
