The former Wake Forest forward is coming off an impressive rookie campaign with San Giovanni in Italian Serie A1.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Former Wake Forest women's basketball standout Ivana Raca is set to begin her second season as a professional, signing on with IDK Eustotren of the Spanish LF Endesa Tuesday.
The Serbian native recorded 12.4 points per game, 5.6 rebounds per game, 1.8 assists per game and 1.0 steals per game in 25 games during her rookie season with San Giovanni in Italian Serie A1.
During the 2021 WNBA Draft, Raca was taken by the Los Angeles Sparks in the third round (28th overall), becoming the second player in program history to be drafted.
The two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection had best season during her final season in Winston-Salem, finishing her senior season averaging 16.7 points per game and 9.0 rebounds per game including 10 double-double performances.
Against Virginia Tech, she had a near record-setting day on the boards at Virginia Tech when she pulled down 19 rebounds to go along with 14 points. Her 19 rebounds were just three away from the all-time program record.
She was nearly the first Demon Deacon since Hamby (2014-15) to average a double-double over the course of the season.
Her points per game and rebounds per game both ranked in the top five in the conference.
Raca became just the fourth player in Wake Forest program history to earn First Team All-ACC honors, joining Dearica Hamby (2013-14, 2014-15), Tracy Connor (1995-96) and Jen Hoover (Mitchell) (1989-90).
She finished sixth in program history with 18 career double-doubles. Raca is also one of just four players to rank in the top 10 in scoring with 1,482 points (ninth) and 715 rebounds (10th).
