One of Harvard’s greatest women’s basketball players is going global.

Well, more like European.

Senior Hana Peljto, the two-time Ivy Player of the Year, is currently in the process of negotiating a contract to continue her basketball career overseas, a process that should soon see a resolution.

“[The signing] should go down in a couple weeks,” Peljto said.

She participated in the WNBA combine on April 7 and 8, among the nation’s top collegiate ballers. “It went really well,” Peljto said. “I was pretty amazed by the skill of some of them. It was an intense atmosphere of competition, but at the same time I had a great time.”

Before the three-round April 17 WNBA Draft, Peljto said she was told that she had a chance of being chosen in the second or third rounds.

She wound up not being selected, but was invited to training camp by the New York Liberty, Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx and Sacramento Monarchs.

Since most second and third-rounders do not make WNBA rosters, it is often better off for a player to not be drafted in the last two rounds, and as a free agent, to choose what team to play for. But it was not an easy decision for Peljto.

“I basically was given like an hour to decide what I wanted to do,” she said.

Peljto said she had determined before the draft that if she was in fact selected, she would go to training camp with the team that picked her and leave school. If she wasn’t drafted, she would simply seek a team overseas. But she did not exactly have a contingency plan for free-agency.

Training camps are slated to start April 22, so Peljto would have had to miss the last month and a half of school, including commencement. In the end she decided to put off her WNBA hoop dreams for at least one year.

“I just feel like this is a time of college I can’t miss,” Peljto said. “Graduation is a pretty big deal for my family and I could see myself regretting not being here, and I think I’ve made the best decision for me.”

She instead has elected to seek a spot on a club across the pond and perhaps come back next year with a better chance at securing a roster spot in the WNBA.

Just recently, playoffs for European leagues ended, so those teams are starting to recruit new players. Peljto said her agent is scouting out opportunities in France, Italy and Spain.

While the French league is most competitive, the Italian pays the best.
