The confetti falls for South Carolina. They’re celebrating a national championship and a perfect season. But it’s the Hawkeyes that are being credited for something much bigger than that: Putting women’s basketball in the national spotlight.
“She came in as a freshman and said, ‘We’re going to the Final Four,’ and many people laughed at her,” head coach Lisa Bluder said. “Many laughed at her for coming to Iowa.”
“I’m disappointed we lost. Obviously, it’s nothing to hang our heads about,” Kate Martin said. “We gave it our best effort and we laid it all out on the court. No regrets with how I played my entire career and I’ve always given it 100%.”
“We’ve done amazing things this year,” Sydney Affolter said. “I’m so proud of each and every girl. This one’s going to sting but I’m proud of what this group did this year.”
“We made history together. We’ve done pretty much everything we can do,” Gabbie Marshall said. “I will have them in my life forever.”
Life goes on and Clark will now take her talents to the WNBA. It’s not a national championship, but this Hawkeye team can say something nobody in the sport’s history can. They made it better. That’s one heck of a legacy.
