Sisi Eleko, the Eastern Michigan University standout who dominated the Mid‑American Conference in rebounds and points during the 2025‑26 season, has officially inked a professional deal with Islands Wichos Jelenia Góra, a club competing in Poland’s top‑flight women’s league, the Orlen Basket Liga Kobiet.
Eleko’s arrival marks a significant addition for the Jelenia Góra side, which finished the previous campaign in fourth place and reached the league semifinals. The Polish league, known for its competitive spirit and adherence to FIBA regulations, features ten teams and has been a launching pad for several European talents.
A Record‑Setting Collegiate Journey
During her three‑year stint with the Eagles, Eleko logged an average of 9.9 rebounds per game, the highest in the MAC, while also ranking second in scoring with 17.4 points per contest. She posted 17 double‑digit rebound games, the most in the conference, and finished her collegiate career with 51 double‑digit performances, placing her among the most prolific rebounders in Division I history.
Her statistical footprint extends beyond the recent season; Eleko concluded her college career with 1,735 points and 1,053 rebounds, ranking fourth in points per game (17.7) and holding the highest career rebounds per game average (10.0) among active Division I players. She became the first Eagle to earn All‑MAC honors in consecutive seasons since Areanna Combs, underscoring her sustained excellence.
The move to Poland also places Eleko alongside a league that boasts a storied history, with Wisła Kraków holding the record for 25 titles. As she steps onto the court in Jelenia Góra, observers anticipate that her blend of size, work ethic and versatility could help the club climb the standings and perhaps challenge the traditional powerhouses.
