July 11, 2019 | Women's Basketball
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Former University of Louisville forward Sam Fuehring has signed a contract to play with German club Eisvogel USC Freiburg and is set to join the team in August.
Eisvogel competes in the premier division of the Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga (DBBL), the top women's league in Germany.
Fuehring was selected with the 34th pick by the Washington Mystics in the 2019 WNBA Draft, but was waived during training camp.
She had a terrific senior year for the Cards, averaging 10.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. During the year, she racked up seven double-doubles, including career-highs in points (21 at Virginia Tech on Feb. 10) and rebounds (14 at Clemson on Feb. 2).
Â
Fuehring was even better in the postseason, averaging 15.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in the Cards' four NCAA Tournament games. In the first round against Robert Morris, she posted a double-double with 19 points on nine-of-nine shooting with 11 rebounds. In the regional semifinal against Oregon State, she tied for the team-lead with 17 points off a career-high three three-pointers.
She concluded her career as part of the winningest senior class in program history, along with Arica Carter and Asia Durr. The trio finished their career with 123 wins and won ACC regular season titles in 2018 and 2019, an ACC Tournament title in 2018, and helped the Cardinals make three Sweet 16's, two Elite 8's and the 2018 Final Four.
