CSU's Cole To Tour New Zealand with Athletes In Action

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Junior guard Norris Cole, who is the second-leading returning scorer in the Horizon League after averaging 13.3 points a game, will take part in a six-game, two-week tour of New Zealand in August with Athletes In Action.

"I am really looking foward to the experience of playing against international competition again," Cole said. "It was fun playing in Spain last summer and to get to go to another country so far away will be a great learning experience.

"This will be a good chance to showcase my talent and represent Cleveland State University on a national stage. Athletes In Action is a good organization and this tour will allow me to grow both spiritually and as a leader while at the same time, continuing to grow as a player."

The tour begins on July 31 when Cole reports to the world headquarters in AIA in Xenia, OH to start a five-day training camp. The team then heads to New Zealand for the tour, returning to the United State on Aug. 19.
