THE Mount Gambier Pioneers have added international experience to their women\u2019s roster, signing American guard Abby Prohaska as an injury replacement player for the 2026 NBL1 South season.<\/p>\n
Prohaska joins the OneFortyOne Pioneers following her recent stint in Germany with Eisvbgel USC Freiburg, where she has been competing in the top-tier DBBL competition.<\/p>\n
In the 2025-26 season, she has averaged approximately 15.0 points per game across 12 appearances, highlighting her ability to contribute offensively at a professional level.<\/p>\n
A 115cm guard, Prohaska brings a strong collegiate resume, having played at both Notre Dame and San Diego State University.<\/p>\n
During her final NCAA season with San Diego State, she stepped into a starting role and averaged 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, earning All-Mountain West honours.<\/p>\n
Earlier in her college career, she was part of Notre Dame\u2019s team that reached the NCAA National Championship game, gaining valuable experience in a high performance environment.<\/p>\n
Prohaska\u2019s signing came following a recent team update, with the club requiring depth in the guard rotation after Tayah Burrows\u2019 operation delayed her arrival in Mount Gambier.<\/p>\n
Her ability to handle the ball, create for others, and contribute across multiple statistical categories makes her a strong fit for the Pioneers system.<\/p>\n
Women\u2019s head coach Matt Sutton was grateful for Prohaska\u2019s signing given the limited time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really lucky to find Abby on short notice, she\u2019s a real professional that plays with physicality and is a true professional,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming Abby and getting to work over the Easter break.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prohaska said she was excited for the opportunity to join the Pioneers and compete in the NBLl South.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to be joining the Pioneers for the upcoming season,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to compete at a high level in Australia, and I can\u2019t wait to get to work with the team, connect with the fans, and help push for a strong season together!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
