Hoosier to join Foreign Tour squad

IU women's basketball player Leah Enterline will put everything on the line and enter the 2006 Big Ten Women's Basketball Foreign Tour squad this summer. The tour, which starts today and runs through July 28, consists of four games in 11 days in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. \nEnterline, who will be entering her senior year at IU, said she is excited about the upcoming experience. \n"This (tournament) is an awesome opportunity, and I just hope to have a good time," she said. \nEnterline, a co-captain on next year's team, also hopes these games could help her become a team member other players look up to.\n"The opportunity (to play on the Foreign Tour squad) and get more experience will hopefully help me (become a team leader)," she said. \nEnterline played a role in IU's success last year as she finished fifth on the team in assists and was a major factor in IU's win over Michigan in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, collecting a career-high of three steals.\nJoining Enterline on the Foreign Tour squad will be Purdue's Katie Gearlds, Illinois' Lori Bjork and Erin McCarthy, Iowa's Megan Skouby, Michigan's Stephany Skrba, Michigan State's Rene Haynes, Minnesota's Leslie Knight, Northwestern's A.J. Glasauer, Ohio State's Tamarah Riley, Penn State's Brianne O'Rourke and Wisconsin's Danielle Ward. \nNew IU basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack said she could not be more proud of Enterline for making the team.\n"This is a great experience for Leah," Legette-Jack said. "It will be a good opportunity for her to get better, and it is always great for someone to be able to represent our country and the Big Ten like this." \nEnterline said the best part of the tournament for her will be doing what she loves most in an international environment.\n"I have never been overseas before and I am just looking forward to being able to go to another country and play basketball," she said.
