Ace Porter

Known for her brilliant ball-handling and bright smile, Arysia “Ace” Porter joined the team in 2023 making her mark as one of the women on the largest female roster in Globetrotters history. Growing up, Ace was introduced to basketball through her dad who helped her recognize her passion for the sport. She thanks her mom, dad, and sister for being her heroes who have always believed in her and who instilled the unwavering confidence that she holds today. 

While attending St. Mary’s University, she received her bachelors in criminology and played on their basketball team. During her time there she shined bright as a great player and now holds a single-game record for most points (38) and is sixth all-time in scoring and second all-time in games and minutes played. After graduating, Ace played professionally in Durango, Mexico before returning back to the U.S. 

Ace encompasses the Globetrotter spirit and sprinkles joy wherever she goes. She says, “I became a Harlem Globetrotter to travel the world spreading joy and laughter, to play the game that I love, and to inspire, motivate, and encourage people to follow their dreams despite what people say.” Being a Globetrotter means more to Ace than just basketball, she wants to be a role model for the youth, especially for young girls, to show them anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
