Iowa women’s basketball standout Morgan Johnson has been selected to play with the NetScouts Basketball United States All-Star Team. Johnson will travel to China from May 1 to 15 with nine other Division I senior players to play against national competition. 

Johnson finished her career with the Black and Gold as the leader in career starts with 129 and the all-time leading shot blocker with 293, and she is fourth in career rebounds with 886. 

The team will face national squads from Brazil, China, and Australia. Johnson’s teammates will include Northern Iowa’s Jacqui Kalin, Green Bay’s Adrian Ritchie and Stephanie Sension, Gonzaga’s Taelor Karr, Illinois State’s Jamie Russell,  Lauren Oosdyke from Northern Colorado, Purdue’s Sam Ostarello, Evansville’s Samantha Heck, and Michigan’s Kate Thompson.

“I’m very excited for this opportunity,” Johnson said in a release. “I’m still exploring the option of playing professionally oversea, and this tournament will help in the decision-making process. I’m honored that NetScouts added me to the roster.”
