Dimitra Gkizani '22 (Chemistry) is playing professional basketball this summer for the Sunbury Jets in Australia. The center, originally from Athens, is a star at the local level in Melbourne. 

 

After her graduation from Roberts, she signed to play with GAS Eunikos in Greece. They described her as a strong player who's not afraid to shoot the ball and a great rebounder for offense and defense. She can also dominate the inside both offensively and defensively. 

 

"I'm glad I was part of that special group," said Gkizani of her experience at Roberts. In 2021, when she was a junior at Roberts, the women's basketball team won the East Coast Conference Championship for the first time in program history. She was named to the All-Tournament team for her performance in the NCAA Division II National Championships. The Roberts women’s basketball finished the season with a 12-7 record, an East Coast Conference title and Sweet 16 appearance, becoming the program's most decorated basketball team in the Division II era.

 

For now she is shooting hoops "down under," read the story.
