Division III teams are allowed to take a trip overseas once every three seasons, which gives them a great opportunity to travel, have an educational experience. Oh, and have offseason practices and exhibition games.

Two teams recently wrapped up exhibition series in foreign countries, as the Catholic University women's team won two games in Ireland and the Puget Sound men won three in the Bahamas.

Catholic players blogged about the trip, conducting a youth clinic (in Northern Ireland, no "Catholic" gear recommended), touring one of the oldest monasteries in Ireland and playing their first hurling match. "Overall it was a great experience to take part in an authentic Irish game that not one of us had the opportunity to play before," Lauren McPeak wrote. The clinic was conducted with Peace for Hope.

Puget Sound's Colin Koach wrote on the Loggers' blog about sharing the spotlight with the Miss Universe pageant next door, the locals' reaction to a team of basketball players walking through the grocery store and a tough game against College of the Bahamas.
