SSU's Gloster signs with Germany's VIMODROM Baskets Jena

Gloster, who is arguably the best rebounding forward in the history of the Shawnee State women's basketball program, was a force as the Bears went 48-15 during her time in the lineup.
Gloster averaged 13.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 1.2 blocks over the course of her time at Shawnee State.
She shot 56.1-percent from the field during her Shawnee State career and scored 1,029 career collegiate points — 849 of those coming at Shawnee State in two seasons, after transferring from Rochester Christian (Mich.).
The six-foot forward from Flint, Mich. was named as a First-Team all-RSC selection after averaging 15.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and three steals while shooting 55.4-percent from the field.

Gloster spearheaded the RSC's top defensive unit, as the Bears ultimately won as many as 20 consecutive games to run the RSC table during the regular season —while advancing to the 2025 RSC Championship Game.
Gloster then led Shawnee State to an NAIA Opening Round victory over Loyola (La.) 70-62, before dropping a scant 71-66 decision to No. 5-ranked Cumberlands (Ky.) in the NAIA Second Round.
She finished her career as not only a First-Team all-RSC honoree, but a 2025 CSC-NAIA Academic All-District selection —who played in and started each of Shawnee State's 63 games.
In 43 of those 63 contests, Gloster posted a double-double.

USV Vimodrom Baskets Jena, which plays in the German Regionalliga League, went 14-0 last season in the league's SouthEast-North Division —winning the division by five games.
Players which have suited up for USV Vimodrom Baskets Jena include Celeste Mershmister, who played at Rochester Christian and was a former college teammate of Gloster's, and 6-5 center Marta Miscenko, who was a First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference talent at NCAA Division II Wingate (N.C.).

Arsenal completes signing of Spain U21 defender Cristhian Mosquera
LONDON (AP) — Cristhian Mosquera became Arsenal's fifth signing of the off season on Thursday after completing a move from Valencia. The Spain Under 21 defender cost a reported 13 million pounds ($17.5 million) and signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months. 'We identified Cristhian as one of the strongest young defenders in European football, and he is an important signing for our future,' Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta said. Arsenal, which has finished runner-up in the Premier League for the last three seasons, has been active in the market this summer. The move for Mosquera comes after deals for midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, forward Noni Madueke and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The London club is also widely expected to sign a striker, with Viktor Gyokeres a reported target. The 21-year-old Mosquera was born in Spain and is also eligible to play for Colombia. He won gold at the Paris Olympics with Spain last year. 'He is a young player with exciting talent and enormous potential, who will fit well into our squad as we continue to prepare for next season,' manager Mikel Arteta said. ___ AP soccer:
