🔼 Canadian Queen. The stock of Villanova guard Jasmine Bascoe continues to rise as this week, the junior was named as one of 12 players on Canada’s Senior Women’s National Team for the 2026 FIBA Women’s Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament in Guadalajara, Mexico.
On Monday, Bascoe made her debut, earning a start and finished with nine points and four assists in Canada’s win over Senegal. Tonight, she and her teammates are back on the court for a 7:30 pm ET matchup with the Philippines.
In her two seasons at Villanova, how many assists has Jasmine Bascoe dished out for the Wildcats?

🔼 Roll Out. 180 minutes into the 2026 season and the Villanova women’s soccer squad has yet to give up a goal.
Helping lead that defensive effort is veteran goalkeeper Hannah Dickinson, who is in her final year with the Wildcats.
After registering her 15th career shutout in the season opener at Syracuse, Dickinson was named to the first BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll of the season on Monday. It marks the eighth weekly honor roll distinction of her Villanova career.
