Lee Volker, a former standout guard for Marquette University's women's basketball team, has taken the next step in her career by signing a professional contract with Syntainics MBC of Germany's top-tier DBBL.
The deal marks the culmination of a three‑year collegiate run in which Volker emerged as one of the BIG EAST's most efficient and versatile guards, consistently ranking among the league leaders in shooting accuracy.
A Promising Future Abroad
During her final season she posted career‑high averages of 11.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 44.9% from the field and a league‑leading 42.3% from three‑point range. Her 42.3% three‑point percentage stands as the second‑highest mark in BIG EAST history and the top single‑season percentage in Marquette lore for a senior.
Volker finished her Marquette career with 986 points, 91 steals and a 40.1% three‑point shooting clip that places her among the program's all‑time greats. She will now bring that blend of shooting precision and defensive versatility to Syntainics MBC, a club known for developing talent in the DBBL.
Beyond club play, Volker has been selected to compete in the 2026 Celsius Women's 3‑Point Championship, underscoring her reputation as one of the premier long‑range shooters on the international stage. Her signing continues Marquette's tradition of producing players ready for professional competition.
