  "summary": "Grace Efosa, a standout player for Providence College's women's basketball team, has been selected to Nigeria's official 12-player roster for the 2026 FIBA World Cup, set to take place in Berlin, Germany. This marks Efosa as the second Providence College women's basketball player to play in a FIBA World Cup, following former Friar Jovana Nogic, who played for Serbia in 2022. Efosa's impressive career at Providence College included 1,115 points over five seasons, earning her All-BIG EAST Second Team honors in her final season and the first Friar since 1993 to make the Big East All-Tournament Team. Before her professional career, Efosa competed in Turkey and recently signed with Saint-Amand Hainaut Basket in France. Nigeria currently holds the No. 8 ranking in the world and will compete in Group B, facing Hungary, Korea, and France.",
