Prohaska and her Team USA teammates will return to Colorado Springs for training camp on July 20 in preparation for the FIBA Americas U18 Championship set for Aug. 1-7 at a location still to be determined. The team is coached by Louisville’s Jeff Walz.

Prohaska played for Team USA in the 2016, winning a bronze medal in the FIBA U17 World Championship in Zaragoza, Spain.
