Sarah Talon, a standout guard from Windham, Maine, has taken a decisive step toward her basketball aspirations by signing a one‑year professional contract with New Basket Oberhausen in Germany’s 2. Damen‑Basketball‑Bundesliga.
The 2024 America East champion capped her collegiate career at the University of Maine, where she helped the Black Bears secure the conference title and earned recognition for her relentless play on the court.
The German league, which runs its regular season from September through March with the championship decided in April, offers Talon a chance to test her skills against a competitive field and to immerse herself in a new cultural environment.
Looking Forward
In a recent interview, Talon described the transition as “a dream come true,” highlighting the warm reception she has already received from teammates and staff, and noting that her family plans to visit her over the Thanksgiving holiday.
As the season approaches, she is focused on adapting to the faster pace and physical style of European basketball, while also cherishing the opportunity to represent her hometown on an international stage.
