After Iowa women’s basketball made some serious noise with the commitment of high-scoring Division III point guard Bria Medina and Swedish forward Ella Strömdahl on May 13, Hawkeyes fans flooded social media with their reactions to the program’s two newest additions.
As for Medina, the 5-foot-6 point guard from Tucson, Arizona, averaged 23.6 points on 46.9% shooting, 35.6% from 3-point range (21-for-59) on low volume, and 86.9% from the free-throw line while earning nearly nine attempts per game. She also averaged 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.7 steals per game for the Prairie Fire. Even more impressive, she reached 30-plus points five times, including registering a career-high 40 points on Jan. 27.
Strömdahl, a 6-foot forward hailing from Uppsala, Sweden, will turn 19 in August and averaged 6.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game for the RIG Lulea Swedish academy team last season. Strömdahl has also played on Sweden’s under-16 and under-18 national teams. She will have four years of eligibility entering next season and join forward McKenna Woliczko as the second member of the Hawkeyes’ incoming freshman class.
