Israel finished fourth in the tournament, falling to host Scotland, 10-9, in the bronze medal game.
During her time at Marist Tuck assisted with community and economic development projects in Ghana for two weeks through the college’s program and also studied in London as part of a Marist short-term program.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in political science and government in 2013, she ran an outdoor leadership course in Patagonia, Chile, for three weeks.
