[2] She joined Cadí La Seu D'urgell, but she left the team in December 2014 to return home following the death of her sister. [2]

Return to Australia (2016–2020)

After some time away from the game, Schwagmeyer returned to Australia in 2016 to play for the Lakeside Lightning in the SBL. [2] She produced a number of standout performances [11] despite playing through injury most of the season. [12] She averaged 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game in 23 contests, [13] and was named the SBL's Most Valuable Player. [12]

Following the 2017 SBL season, there were hopes of Schwagmeyer joining the Perth Lynx of the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) for the 2017–18 season after she had applied to become a permanent resident in Australia. [17] The lengthy process meant she was unable to be part of the full squad due to import restrictions, [17] but an injury to import guard Courtney Williams [18] led to Schwagmeyer making her WNBL debut on October 27, 2017. [17] She stepped straight into the starting five and had a big impact with her defensive energy against the Dandenong Rangers. [19] She finished with 10 points in the 88–78 win, [20] including seven consecutive points from late in the third quarter to early in the final period. [21] Delays in her permanent residency application saw Schwagmeyer watch from the sidelines for the remainder of the season. [22] She was subsequently named the recipient of the Perth Lynx Coaches' Award. [23]

Schwagmeyer returned to the Lightning in 2018 for a third season. [24] She won Player of the Week for rounds 5 and 10, [25] [26] won MVP of the All-Star Game, [27] and helped the Lightning win the minor premiership and reach the SBL Grand Final. In the grand final, the Lightning defeated the Mandurah Magic 75–64 behind a 25-point performance from Schwagmeyer that garnered her Grand Final MVP honors. [28] To conclude the year, she was named league MVP for the third straight year to go with All-Star Five honors. [29] In 24 games, she averaged 22.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. [30]

Having received her Australian residency, Schwagmeyer signed a full-time contract with the Perth Lynx as an unrestricted player on June 14, 2018, [31] rejecting European contracts and the chance to be closer to her partner to play in the WNBL. [32] She averaged 14 points, 4.59 rebounds, 1.95 assists and 1.14 steals in the 2018–19 season, and was selected in the WNBL Team of the Week in round eight. Round eight featured her best game of the season, with 22 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in a four-point win over the UC Capitals. [33]

Schwagmeyer returned to the Lightning in 2019, but only for the first seven rounds. [34] [35]

Schwagmeyer returned to the Lynx for the 2019–20 season. [33] She took a different approach to training in the off-season, shedding 10 kg to enter her second full WNBL season looking to play lighter. [36] [37] She missed the last three games of the season with a right foot injury. [38] [39] For the season, she earned WNBL Sixth Woman of the Year honors after averaging 15.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game with predominately a bench role. [40]

On July 1, 2020, Schwagmeyer signed with the Sydney Uni Flames. [41] During the 2020 WNBL Hub season in Queensland, she averaged 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 steals per game. [42]

Serbia (2021)

On October 9, 2021, Schwagmeyer signed with Crvena zvezda of the Basketball League of Serbia for the 2021–22 season. [43] After the team's EuroCup season ended on December 22, [44] Schwagmeyer was rested for team's December 26 match [45] and then did not appear again in the new year. [42] In six league games, she averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game. [42] In five EuroCup games, she averaged 9.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. [46]

Return to Australia (2022–2023)

On December 9, 2022, Schwagmeyer signed with the University of Canberra Capitals. [47] She played two games for the Capitals in the 2022–23 WNBL season. [42]

Personal life

Schwagmeyer is the daughter of Mike and Sherry Schwagmeyer. She has one brother, Corey, and three sisters, Lori, Kim and Angie (deceased). [1] Her sister Angie died in a car crash in St. Louis in 2014. [2]

Following the death of her sister, Schwagmeyer remained in the United States throughout 2015 and served as an assistant coach for the Hannibal–LaGrange University women's basketball team while also working at the Quincy YMCA. [2]

In February 2018, Schwagmeyer received her permanent residency in Australia. [48]

In July 2019, Schwagmeyer married long-time boyfriend and fellow basketball player Courtney Belger. [36] [37] He too has played in Germany and in the State Basketball League. [2] [49]
