BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech graduate Matilda Ekh is set to represent Sweden in the 2025 FIBA Women’s EuroBasket this summer. Held every two years, EuroBasket serves as a competition amongst Europe’s best nations.

Belgium won the last tournament in 2023, while Sweden’s best finish in the competition was sixth back in 2019.

The Swedes will face Germany (June 19), Great Britain (June 20) and Spain (June 22) in Group D action later this week.

Ekh played for the Hokies for two seasons and was a part of the 2023-24 squad that captured the program’s first ACC regular-season title after helping the Hokies to a 14-4 record in league play that season. During her senior season in 2024-25 she led the Hokies in 3-point shooting and was named to the ACC’s All-Academic Team for the second time. Ekh also recorded the 1,000th point of her collegiate career while with the Hokies.
