EVANSTON, Ill. -- The Big Ten All-Stars concluded the 2005 Foreign Tour in dominating fashion, downing Luxembourg Musel Pikes 110-40 on Monday night in Remich, Luxembourg.

Senior Ifeoma Okonkwo (Spring, Texas/Klein Oak) tallied six points, grabbed three rebounds and dished three assists in the win. Okonkwo averaged 8.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 1.8 apg over the five games.

The All-Stars eclipsed the 100-point plateau in three of the five games, and averaged a 45-point margin of victory over the Tour. The All-Stars closest game was an 88-87 victory against the Belgium National Team on Saturday.

The squad went 5-0 on this year's Tour, boosting the overall Tour record to 51-18 (.739) since its inception in 1992. The event has been held annually except for 2003. The All-Stars, which were led by Penn State's Rene Portland this summer, have now won 19 straight contests.

The team will spend Tuesday morning in Brussels with a chocolate factory tour on the itinerary before returning to Amsterdam for one more night. The squad returns to the United States on Wednesday.
