Syracuse women's basketball alumna Whisper Fisher '20 signed her first professional contract this week and will play for Clube Galitos Aveiro in Portugal the upcoming season.
"I am so excited to sign my first professional contract," Fisher said. "It's crazy to be able to actually call myself a pro! I have always wanted to play overseas and now I am blessed with that opportunity. It's been a dream of mine and I can't wait to see that actually turn into a reality!"
Fisher is the 10th active Orange alum playing professionally and the eighth playing overseas. The 22-year-old will become the second Orange alum during head coach Quentin Hillsman's era to play professionally in Portugal, joining Taylor Ford '16.
After graduating from St. Joseph's in 2019, the 6-foot-2 forward transferred to Syracuse where she appeared in 14 games during the 2019-20 campaign. Prior to her time with the Orange she appeared in all 30 games for St. Joseph's in 2018-19 with 18 starts. She began her collegiate career with Loyola Chicago, playing in 21 games in the 2015-16 season.
Fisher earned her Master's Degree in Sport and Event Management from the David. B Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics in May 2020.
