Lexi Donarski will continue her career next season in Hungary.

Donarski, who played two seasons at North Carolina after transferring from Iowa State, will play for the TFSE-MTA team in Budapest in the Hungary A-Division. Her agent, Jeanne McNulty-King, announced the signing on Monday morning.

As a graduate student last season, the 6–0 guard started all 37 games for a North Carolina team that advanced to the Sweet 16, leading the Tar Heels with 86 3-pointers, the fifth-most in a single season in program history.

Donarski, who turns 24 in January, averaged 10.7 points last season, scoring at least 20 points 21 times in her career, including 21 points against UNC Wilmington and 20 points against Boston College in the ACC tournament.

Donarski scored at least six 3-pointers six times in her career and had five 3-pointers six times last season.
