Iowa senior Lucy Olsen did about as good a job as any player could, replacing Caitlin Clark after her departure to the WNBA. In her senior year, after three years at Villanova, Olsen showed out, leading Iowa in points and assists with 17.9 and 5.1 per game, respectively.
Olsen shot 43.6% from the field and 36% from deep, leading the Hawkeyes to a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and second-round exit. The senior, who started dating boyfriend Grayson Herr in 2023, is expected to be a second- or third-round pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft next week. Learn more about the two ballers’ relationship.
