With the start of the 2025-2026 season drawing closer, USC women’s basketball continues to add to its roster. On Thursday, the Trojans picked up a commitment from 6-3 post player Gerda Raulusaityte.
Raulusaityte comes to USC from Lithuania. She has competed professionally in the country, as well as for the Lithuanian national team.
”Gerda is an important and exciting addition to our team,” head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said in a statement. “A dynamic post player with a plethora of international experience, Gerda will bring size, versatility, toughness and skill to our front line. We are proud that she made the Lithuanian senior national team for EuroBasket, and we know that her unique experiences playing in Europe will add a new dimension to our team. Gerda has been a joy to get to know. I have no doubt that being a part of the Trojan Family will make her feel as if she has a home away from home. We can’t wait to welcome Gerda to Los Angeles and our campus.”
USC is losing Kiki Iriafen and Rayah Marshall, its two starters in the post from last season. Raulusaityte will look to compete for immediate playing time this season in order to help the Trojans fill the void created by their departure.
