Brittney Sykes will participate in the 2013 USA Basketball U19 World Championship Team Trials, USA Basketball announced on Tuesday.

Sykes will play with USA Basketball for the second summer in a row. She’ll compete with 33 other players for 12 roster spots. The tryout is from May 16-19 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Sykes, ESPNU’s No. 30 prospect in the Class of 2012, flourished in her freshman year at Syracuse. The 5-foot-9 Newark, N.J., native averaged 8.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game, fueling the Orange to a 24-8 record and its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2008.

She scored 20 points and snagged 10 rebounds in a win over Boise State and helped Syracuse knock off eventual national title runner-up Louisville by scoring 16 points and blocking two shots.

Her most impressive performance, though — one that earned her the top spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 — came against St. John’s on Jan. 23. Sykes stole the ball from her former high school teammate Nadirah McKenith and banked in a desperation shot from beyond halfcourt as time expired, giving the Orange a stunning 60-57 win.

Sykes was named to the Big East All-Freshman team and was one of three freshmen to start the majority of Syracuse’s games, along with Brianna Butler and Cornelia Fondren.
