The University of Iowa Athletics Department has announced that an end-of-season celebration will be held on Wednesday, April 10th at 6 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena to honor the women's basketball team for their impressive run as NCAA runner-ups.

During the event, fans will have a chance to hear from P. Sue Beckwith, MD, Head Women's Basketball Coach Lisa Bluder, and the team's remarkable student-athletes. Among the players expected to speak are National Player of the Year Caitlin Clark, as well as seniors Molly Davis, Sharon Goodman, Kate Martin, and Gabbie Marshall.

The celebration will also feature the team's trophies on display, accompanied by the Iowa Spirit Squad, Herky, and the Iowa Pep Band, creating a vibrant and exciting atmosphere for attendees.

The Hawkeyes made history this season, securing their spot in the Final Four for the second consecutive year and the third time in program history. Although falling short of the championship title, the team's achievements cannot be overstated. They clinched their third consecutive Big Ten Tournament victory and recorded an impressive 34 wins, tying a school record and making it one of the most successful seasons in Big Ten Conference history.

The women's basketball program and the entire Athletics Department express their gratitude to the dedicated fans who have shown unwavering support throughout the season. They eagerly anticipate celebrating this incredible team on Wednesday.

It is worth mentioning that the Athletics Department has requested fans not to gather upon the team's arrival later today. This measure aims to ensure the safety and security of the players and staff.

The Iowa Hawkeyes can take pride in an outstanding season and their incredible achievements, creating a legacy that will be remembered by fans and opponents alike. Wednesday's celebration will be a well-deserved tribute to their hard work, determination, and undeniable talent.
