After another historic season, the Iowa women’s basketball team will be honored at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Doors will open at 5 p.m. and normal game day security procedures will be in place (clear bag policy). No ticket is necessary to attend the event. There will be a free live stream here.
Discounted Final Four merchandise will be available from the Black & Gold Shop at Carver.
The Hawkeyes fell to the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks in the national championship. The gathering will give fans one last opportunity to celebrate this year’s historic team and its senior class, who won a program-high 34 games this season.
The team’s trophies will be on hand at the celebration, along with the Iowa Spirit Squad, Herky, and the Iowa Pep Band.
Parking will be available in lots surrounding Carver-Hawkeye Arena beginning at 4:30 p.m. ADA parking as available will be in Lot 40.
Fans will be given the chance to hear from head coach Lisa Bluder and Sue Beckwith, former Iowa women’s basketball letter winner turned M.D.
Plus, those in attendance can hear the five departing Hawkeyes say their goodbyes to the program: Caitlin Clark, Molly Davis, Sharon Goodman, Kate Martin, and Gabbie Marshall.
Clark, who has been at the forefront of women’s college basketball, declared for the WNBA Draft and is projected as the No. 1 overall pick.
While this year’s celebration will be held in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, last year’s gathering was outside on the Pentacrast on campus.
During last year’s celebration, fans heard from Beckwith, Bluder, and seniors McKenna Warnock and Monika Czinano.
