Dietrick '15 Signs With AO Dafni Agioy Dimitrioy of Greece League
August 11, 2017 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON, N.J. – Blake Dietrick '15 will continue her professional career with AO Dafni Agioy Dimitrioy of the Greece League for the 2017-18 season. AO Dafni Agioy Dimitrioy qualified for the playoffs, going 16-11 in 2016-17.
Â
Dietrick played for the Bendigo Spirit of the Australian National Basketball League last season. The Spirit went 13-11, finishing sixth in the league, one game out of a playoff spot. The former 2015 Ivy League Player of the Year averaged 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists per game on 47.7 percent shooting in 24 games for the Spirit. Earlier in the season, Dietrick became the second Ivy League player ever to make a WNBA roster as she made the Seattle Storm's opening night roster.
During her senior campaign, Dietrick helped the team to one of the greatest seasons in Ivy League history. The Tigers had an unblemished 30-0 regular season, won its fifth Ivy League title in six years, and won the program's first ever NCAA Tournament game. The guard averaged career-highs in points (15.1), assists (4.9), and rebounds (4.5) per game en route to Associated Press and WBCA Honorable Mention All-America honors. A seven-time Ivy Player of the Week, she was the conference's unanimous choice for Player of the Year. Setting a single-season program record for assists (157), her 483 points in 2014-15 are tied for the third highest total in school history.
A two-time first-team All-Ivy selection, Dietrick is ranked fourth on the Princeton charts in three-pointers made (210) and three-point shooting percentage (.395). Sitting fourth in assists (346) and 12th in scoring (1,233), she poured in a team-high 26 points on 10-of-18 shooting in her final collegiate contest, a NCAA second-round loss to eventual Final Four participant Maryland.
Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart has had five players sign a professional contract in Dietrick, Annie Tarakchian '16, Devon Allgood '12, Addie Micir '11, Niveen Rasheed '13.
