Former University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee basketball standout Dylan Page is headed overseas. The 6-foot 9-inch Page has signed a contract with newly-promoted Ment of Thessalaniki in Greece's first division.

Page will head to Greece in two weeks for training camp, with the season opening in October.

"It's a great opportunity for Dylan," UWM head coach Bruce Pearl said. "He has worked very hard for this and it is a wonderful reward for him. The Greek league is certainly known as one of the best in Europe, and I am certain Dylan is capable of being a strong contributor to his team."

Page, the Horizon League Player of the Year, led the Panthers and the Horizon League in scoring this season while leading UWM to the regular season Horizon League title and its second-straight post-season appearance.
