Caledonia Gladiators is pleased to announce the signing of Byrnn Masikewich, a 6’3” Canadian forward, ahead of the upcoming season.
Masikewich, 24, joins the Gladiators after most recently competing in the Australian NBL1 with the Albury Wodonga Lady Bandits, where she was a dominant force, averaging 18.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, while shooting an efficient 53.5% from the field and 81.6% from the free-throw line.
Masikewich was recruited to two highly sought after collegiate programmes, UCLA (2019-23) and DePaul University (2023-24). She helped add depth to these strong rosters, and presence in the paint. Developing around a winning culture at UCLA and DePaul, Masikewich was set up for success in her pro debut with Veilchen Ladies Goettingen in the German DBB, averaging 10.6 points and 8 rebounds per game.
On the international stage, Masikewich proudly represented Canada, competing for the U19 National Team at the FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Thailand. While also earning early recognition in Canada as she was selected to the BioSteel All-Canadian MVP honours while in high school.
Masikewich’s arrival adds to the powerhouse of a team recruited by Head Coach Chantelle Handy to continue the pursuit of further silverware. The Gladiators women will make their home debut this October as they take on Nottingham Wildcats on the 5th at Playsport. Season Tickets available now, with Early Bird Discount until 1 September.
