Former USD Standout Nicole Seekamp Signs Pro Contract

One of the best players to ever wear a women's basketball uniform at the University of South Dakota is continuing her career as a professional.

Nicole Seekamp has signed to play with AZS PWSZ Gorzow in Poland.

In a USD press release, Seekamp said:

I feel extremely blessed to be able to continue playing, especially at a high level. To be able to travel the world and experience a completely different culture while playing is an added bonus!

The Renmark, South Australia native was 2016 Summit League Player of the Year and 2016 Women's National Invitation Tournament MVP. She was twice named the Summit League Tournament MVP and three times named to the Summit League first team. She was a three-time member of the league's all-academic team and twice named CoSIDA academic all-district.
