From the Spider Jolt e-mail July 21:

This weekend, USA Basketball named Ullstrom as part of their women’s 2025 USA 3x3 Nations Leagues team set to compete at the 2025 FIBA 3x3 Nations League Americas Conference July 21-27 in Punta Arenas, Chile. In May, Ullstrom participated in 2025 USA Basketball 3X Nationals in Mesa, Arizona. Each member of this year’s women’s squad will be donning the red, white and blue for the first time in FIBA 3x3 competition with Ullstrom will making her USA Basketball competitive debut.

Nice to see Rachel getting her own individual opportunity. She definitely played well in the 3x3 Nationals games I was able to see.

Nations League Updates:

Women’s team with 3 wins on July 23 (Stop 3 of 6). Rachel scored 6, 7, and 2 points in the 3 games. Go USA!

Stop 4 is July 25 (as I post) and it looks like Rachel has the day off.

The FIBA 3x3 website is terrible in my opinion.
 
Stop 5 today vs Argentina at 3:20 PM. Rachel is back in action. Looks like only one game today. Another perfect 3-0 yesterday.

Go USA!
 
USA with 2 easy wins today 21-3, 21-5. Rachel only contributed 1 pt in the scoring column in each game.

2 games left 8 think in Stop #6, the final one, tomorrow. 1:30 PM, 4:10 PM
 
USA Women finish in 3rd for Stop 6 (2-1), but win the event by 30 points over the home team Chile.

Congratulations USA and Rachel. She scored 6 points in today’s last “consolation game”. I guess it was called that because the outcome would not have any influence on the final standings, but have no idea. The FIBA 3x3 website is lacking.
 
The inside scoop on Rachel’s invite is on this week’s Spider Sound Off. interesting story behind her enrollment at UR too. Give it a listen.

“It's the last week of camp, ready to go. Just go home and everything. And I answer, and it's like, Hi, this is so-and-so from Team USA.

And I'm like, Wait, what? It's super loud. I had this on speaker, because I'm like, What is happening?

And I run out to the training room. I'm with Sarah, our athletic trainer. And I'm like, Sarah, listen to this.

Am I being scammed right now? Like, what's happening? And they're like, Yeah, like gave me like really no details.”
