Freshman Tania Davis is expected to miss five to six months after she underwent surgery on her non-shooting shoulder.

The freshman played 30 games and started in 16, leading the Hawks in assists (111). She also averaged 8.1 points and 2.7 rebounds and was credited with 37 steals.

A former four-star recruit and Miss Basketball in the state of Michigan, Davis flashed at moments during her first season as a Hawkeye and should be a huge part of the team next season.

Standing at just 5-4, her nifty ball-handling skills were apparent in the 867 minutes she spent on the court this season — third-most on the team.

Davis was also named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team.
