Bria Medina Commits to Iowa Women’s Basketball

The Knox College standout joins a growing transfer class as the Hawkeyes aim for a strong season

Bria Medina, a dynamic guard from Knox College, has officially inked a deal with the Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball program, marking a significant addition to the team's roster for the upcoming season.

During her junior year, Medina posted a career‑high average of 23.6 points per game, a performance that earned her a spot on the NCAA DIII Region 9 First Team and the distinction of being the first player in Knox College history to receive that honor and also be named Midwest Conference Player of the Year.

Coach Jensen's Praise

Head coach Jan Jensen highlighted Medina's energy, gratitude and relentless work ethic, noting that her presence will inject a new level of competitiveness and depth into the squad.

The Hawkeyes' transfer portal class is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing in recent memory, bringing together a trio of experienced guards — Dani Carnegie, Jocelyn Faison and Amari Whiting — who will join Medina in bolstering the backcourt.

Together, the newcomers bring a blend of scoring prowess, defensive tenacity and playmaking ability that aligns with Iowa's ambitious goals for the season, as the program looks to build on its recent successes and contend for a national championship.
