FRESNO, Calif. – 5,587 miles. That's the distance that Fresno State's newest signee Franka Wittenberg will travel to play in the Central Valley.
"We are so excited about Franka joining the Bulldog family," Fresno State head coach Jaime White said. "Franka's basketball IQ is special. Her international experience allows her to make elite decisions with the ball. She will be a versatile scoring threat immediately for us."
