Cissy in the pros

Cissy is playing professional basketball for Rhein-Main Baskets, a professional team located in Langen Germany, about 25 km south of Frankfurt. She uses her real name Alissa instead of her nickname Cissy.
She is a key member of  the team. In their last five games she averaged 19.2 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. She scored double-doubles in the last three games — 18/16, 22/10 and 18/11. Overall she is making 59% of her field goal attempts and 22% of her 3-pointers.
This quote (awkwardly translated by Google) sounds just like the Cissy we knew at Stanford , "In the athletic activities of Cissy Pierce was a murmur through the audience. [head coach] Deetjen was also impressed by the newcomer."
