VERMILLION, S.D.—South Dakota alumna Abigail Fogg has signed a contract to play with Lupebasket in Italy next season.
 
"This is a great team in a great league and in an obviously beautiful country," Fogg said. "Lupebasket has some really loyal and passionate fans. I played against them last year in a preseason tournament in Slovakia and there were a whole bunch of fans that made the trip! I am excited to get to know them and I cannot wait to start this next adventure as giallonero!"
 
Fogg, a 2017 graduate of the University of South Dakota, enters her fourth year of professional basketball in Europe. She has played in Switzerland, Turkey and Hungary in her professional career.
 
"We are both proud and excited for this fantastic opportunity for Abi," said USD head coach Dawn Plitzuweit. "It has been great to watch her further her professional career and Coyote Nation will be cheering her on as she joins a very strong league in Italy this season."
 
Lupebasket has finished fourth in the Italian league, a league in which a handful of WNBA players call home, for the last two years.

Last season, Fogg played for BEAC Ujbuda in Hungary, averaging 12.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20 games.
 
Hailing from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, Fogg scored 523 points and grabbed 265 boards in two seasons with the Coyotes. She was all-Summit League honorable mention as a senior, averaging 12 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in league play.
 
Fogg was one of three Coyote women's basketball alumnae playing professionally during the 2019-20 season. Nicole Seekamp '16 was with the Adelaide Lightning in Australia and Bridget Yoerger '09 was with the Musel Pikes in Luxembourg.
