From starting one game during her freshman season to starting all in her fifth year, Gabbie Marshall’s journey has been remarkable. The 23-year-old arrived at the University of Iowa in 2019 as a health and human physiology major after graduating from Cincinnati’s Mount Notre Dame High School. Along the way, she became a trailblazer for Iowa women’s basketball, achieving the rare feat of recording 200 3-pointers and 200 steals in her career. Moreover, Marshall’s contributions were instrumental in propelling the Hawkeyes to their first-ever national title game appearance last season. The former three-star recruit is looking to repeat a similar feat this year!
