DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's basketball head coach Kara Lawson and 2019 graduate Sofia Roma will represent the Blue Devils on the international stage as the pair is slated to open FIBA Women's AmeriCup competition (June 28-July 6) this weekend in Santiago, Chile.
Tapped head coach of the U.S. Women's AmeriCup team in May, Lawson is set to lead USA Basketball in its quest for a fifth gold medal at the event. Roma is set to represent her home country as a member of Puerto Rico's Women's AmeriCup squad.
Lawson and the United States tip off AmeriCup action June 28 against host country Chile, followed by contests against Colombia (June 29) and Puerto Rico (June 30). USA Basketball caps the group phase of play with a tilt against Mexico July 2.
Roma and the Puerto Rican women's national team also get its journey started June 28, opening international play with a matchup versus Colombia. After resuming AmeriCup play and squaring off against the United States June 30, Puerto Rico closes action in Group B with games against Mexico (July 1) and host Chile (July 2).
No stranger to USA Basketball, Lawson brings in a myriad of coaching experience with Team USA, most notably winning gold medals as an assistant coach at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and as head coach with the inaugural U.S. Olympic 3x3 Women's Basketball Team at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. Lawson's USA Basketball coaching resume speaks for itself having compiled a 75-5 (.938) overall record while leading the team to nine gold medals. In addition to her Olympic coaching success, she has won gold medals at the 2022 FIBA Women's World Cup, 2017 and 2019 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cups, 2019 Pan American Games (3x3) and 2018 Youth Olympic Games (3x3).
Roma, who played for the Blue Devils from 2017-19, most recently competed with the Puerto Rican Women's National Team during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Her prior stints with Puerto Rico include the 2018 and 2022 FIBA Women's World Cup.
