Excited states of ${}^{97}\mathrm{Ag}$, which has three protons less than doubly magic ${}^{100}\mathrm{Sn}$, were identified up to 7 MeV excitation energy and $J=(33/2)$. The reaction ${}^{46}\mathrm{Ti}+{}^{58}\mathrm{Ni}$ was employed together with the Gammasphere Ge detector array coupled with Microball and Neutron Shell auxiliary detectors. The measured states are compared with a large-scale shell-model calculation.
