NEW YORK — Columbia women's basketball alumna Camille Zimmerman '18CC signed a contract with the Norrkoping Dolphins of the Swedish Basketball League earlier this month. Zimmerman spent the last two seasons playing at Kouvottaret in Finland.

This past season at Kouvottaret, Zimmerman averaged an impressive 17.7 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals to help her club finish first in Naisten Korisliiga. The team was unable to finish the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was named Naisten Korisliiga Player of the Month in November, averaging 18.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists to lead Kouvottaret to a 4-0 record through the month. Zimmerman went on to be named to Eurobasket.com All-Finnish League First Team.

"I feel like I really progressed as a basketball player [at Kouvottaret] but I was ready for the next step," said Zimmerman, Columbia's all-time leader in scoring and rebounding. "[Norrkoping] has really felt like a step up since I've gotten here. I'm really loving the town and the people and just all of the basketball experiences I've gotten to have in just my first week."
