SEATTLE – A recent hurricane has caused the relocation for a tournament that the Creighton women's basketball team will participate in next month.

The upcoming Junkanoo Jam women's basketball tournament, normally held on Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas, has been relocated to the Bimini Islands of the Bahamas due to damage caused by Hurricane Matthew, Oct. 5-6, Basketball Travelers and Junkanoo Jam directors announced Wednesday.

The tournament, which will continue as scheduled Nov. 24-26, will be held at Gateway Christian Academy on North Bimini Island. All teams and supporters that purchased tournament packages through Junkanoo Jam and Basketball Travelers, will be automatically assigned rooms at the brand new Hilton at Resorts World Bimini.
