USC Newcomer Roxane Makolo Claims Silver Medal For Canada At GLOBL Jam
July 16, 2023 | Women's Basketball
Incoming Trojan Roxane Makolo added to her international resume in claiming a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2023 GLOBL Jam. Makolo has now made 31 international appearances for Canadian national teams with her participation at this latest event, which was held July 12-16 in Toronto.
Makolo checked in for all four games at the tournament, averaging 2.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. She topped out with five rebounds in Canada's win over Puerto Rico, and contributed two points and two boards in a win over the United States during group play.
A gold-medalist with Canada at the 2015 FIBA U-16 Americas, Makolo began her collegiate career at Purdue. As a Boilermaker, the 5-10 guard played in 31 games as a true freshman before being sidelined by injuries for the next two seasons. Makolo then made the move to TCU and got back to action, appearing in 29 games and starting 19 while averaging 5.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. She set career highs with a 15-point outing and a 10-rebound performance that season, finishing out the year shooting .317 from the floor.
A native of Saint-Hubert, Quebec, Makolo has also represented Team Canada at the 2019 FIBA U19 World Cup, 2018 FIBA U18 Americas Championship, 2016 FIBA U17 World Championship and 2015 FIBA Americas U16 Championship. At the 2018 event, she helped Canada to a second-place finish while continuing 9.8 points per game. She also won gold at the 2017 Canada Summer Games playing for Team Quebec.
Makolo joins the Trojans as one of four grad transfer additions to USC's 2023-24 roster, joining Ivy League products Kaitlin Davis, McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla. In all, the USC women have six newcomers on their way to Troy for the coming season, with true freshmen Juju Watkins and Malia Samuels also starting their Trojan careers.Â
