Missouri Western’s all-time leading scorer is going pro.

Former Griffon women’s basketball player Jessica Koch has signed a contract to play for Haskovo in the Bulgarian National Basketball League.  2012 marks the first year of existence for Haskovo.

Koch earned All-American honorable mention honors for MWSU in 2011-2012, averaging more than 22 points per game.  Her 1,776 career points is the most in program history.

“I am excited to continue my career overseas,” Koch said in a statement.    “I look forward to the experience of playing Bulgaria.  There are two other Americans on the team and I hope we are able to help Haskovo bring home a championship in 2013.”

Koch, a native of Kansas City, Mo., graduated from Missouri Western in May with a degree in Communications.
