FLASH-AGENCY.NET – Former University of New Mexico women's basketball standout Khadijah Shumpert has signed a professional contract to play overseas with the Panathlitikos Sykeon in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Shumpert is the second Lobo to sign a professional contract in two years. Last summer, former Lobo guard Antiesha Brown signed to play with Milan's Paddy Power Sesto San Giovanni in Milan, Italy.
Shumpert is also not the only Lobo to go to Greece and play professionally. Current women's basketball Director of Operations Vera Jo Bustos spent the 2011-12 season playing for the Apollon Kalamarias in Thessaloniki.
