Cal's 5-11 junior guard Gisella Maul represented Puerto Rico at GLOBL JAM (August 13-17), a 4-team round robin tournament of Under-23 squads that took place in Toronto. She played games against Team Brazil, Team Canada, and the University of Texas women -- Maul's former team -- who were selected to represent the United States.



Puerto Rico went 0-4 in these games, and here's what I could find from Sportsnet and other sources.

Game 1 (Wed 8/13): USA/Texas 85, Puerto Rico 45

Paola Hernandez scored twice, including a middy jumper to cut Brazil's lead to 16-15 after the first frame.

[Heloisa] Carrera continued to own the lane, finishing easily over top of Puerto Rico's smaller frontcourt to lead Brazil with 10 points at the half. Maul matched with 10 for Puerto Rico."

Looking at Cal's 2025-26 schedule, Maul will see some of these players again as opponents, including one of her teammates.

Ana Beatriz Da Silva, Idaho (Brazil)
Raiane Dias Dos Santos, Virginia (Brazil)
Taissa Queiroz, UNC (Brazil)
Angelica Velez, Syracuse (Puerto Rico)

Thanks for sharing. Great experience for her.

Gisella's scoring on a consistent basis over the duration of the tournament bodes well for this season.

Gisella looks to be a legitimate offensive threat this season. This is great news. In the couple box scores presented, she did not hit a high % of her three-point attempts, however. Maul evidently is completely healthy now as opposed to last season. GO BEARS!

The best thing about this report is she appears healthy

Also interesting she shoots threes. I don't recall any attempts last season

I think she can be a good defender if healthy

she can be our X-factor

Gisella played in 22 games last season and averaged nearly 8 minutes per game. Still in recovery mode.

She was 3/13 on 3-pointers or 23%. Her strength last season was rebounding (34) particularly on the defensive end (24).

I predict she'll be a significant contributor this coming season.

Thanks for the stats

With Michelle gone we will need rebounding

So frustrating when Michelle was out it sometimes looked like a volleyball match under the rim
