Latvia: Co-hosts ready to go after confirming roster
RIGA (Latvia) - FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2019 co-hosts Latvia have unveiled the 12 players tasked with shining in front of the home fans in Riga during the first phase of Final Round.
Without a string of big names for multiple reasons, those who do line-up in the Latvian capital will have to bring the noise on the court.
| Latvia roster for FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2019 | |||
| Aija Brumermane | Elina Dikaioulaku | Laura Ikstena | Ilze Jakobsone |
| Kate Kreslina | Zenta Melnika | Karline Pilabere | Ieva Pulvere |
| Luize Septe | Digna Strautmane | Paula Strautmane | Kristine Vitola |
Latvia will rely heavily on TTT Riga players such as Kristine Vitola and Ieva Pulvere, who helped their club team post such a great 2018-19 season in EuroLeague Women.
Combo guard Elina Dikaioulaku will bring great experience and that will help several of the younger players such as the talented NCAA duo Digna Strautmane and Luize Septe,
Meanwhile one of the most interesting additions has been Karline Pilabere, who has caught fire in the friendly games, since parachuting late into the preparation camp.
Latvia will go up against Great Britain, Ukraine and defending champions Spain in Group A.
