Bria Medina Commits to Iowa Women’s Basketball

Senior guard brings DIII accolades to the Hawkeyes

Bria Medina, a senior guard from Tucson, Arizona, has officially committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball program, marking a high‑profile addition to the roster for the upcoming season.

A Standout Career at Knox College

During her junior year at Knox College, Medina posted a career‑high average of 23.6 points per game, a figure that placed her among the nation's most prolific scorers at the Division III level. Her performance earned her a spot on the NCAA DIII Region 9 First Team and the distinction of being the first player in Knox history to be named Midwest Conference Player of the Year.

Head coach Jan Jensen highlighted Medina's energy, gratitude and relentless work ethic, saying the guard's arrival aligns with the program's vision of competitive depth and cultural growth.

Medina will join a group of experienced transfers, including guards Dani Carnegie, Jocelyn Faison and Amari Whiting, who together bring a blend of skill and versatility that coaches hope will elevate the Hawkeyes' performance in the highly competitive Big Ten conference.

The commitment underscores Iowa's continued focus on recruiting talent that can make an immediate impact, and it signals a promising future for a program that has been building momentum over recent seasons.
