South St. Vital-raised basketball star Emily Potter has signed a new professional contract that will see her shoot hoops in Greece in the 2021-22 season.

According to a Basketball Manitoba news release, the 25-year-old Canadian international — who is entering her fourth year as a professional — is joining Esperides Basketball Club. The club is based in Kallithea, which is located just outside Athens, and plays in the Greek women’s national basketball league.

The six-foot-six centre has spent the last two years representing KP Brno in the Czech Republic. Before that, the Glenlawn Collegiate alumna represented the University of Utah with great distinction before graduating in 2018. According to the release, Potter is the first player in the university’s history to surpass 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 200 blocks.

Her resume also includes representing Canada at the 2019 Pan Am Games, which were held in Lima, Peru.
