“On Monday, former Iowa standout Gabbie Marshall posted a group shot on social media featuring current Hawkeyes forward Jada Gyamfi and Kate Martin of the Las Vegas Aces. Martin and Marshall attended the Hawkeyes’ latest game versus the Virginia Tech Hokies. Marshall shared a photo of himself with Martin and Gyamfi on Instagram after the Hawkeyes’ 71-52 victory.
#23’s BIGGEST fan!! So good seeing my Hawkeye family this weekend,” Marshall captioned the post. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who previously shared the court with Marshall during her time with the Hawkeyes, then commented on the post.
While Marshall has since retired from basketball, Clark has wreaked havoc in the WNBA. During her rookie season in the WNBA, 2024, Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.
From 2020 to 2024, Clark played with the Hawkeyes. Clark averaged 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game while attending Iowa. In 2023 and 2024, the Fever standout assisted in leading the Hawkeyes to consecutive Final Four berths. Marshall was a three-point shooter and defensive specialist, but Clark was the team’s top scorer and assister. Marshall averaged 6.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game between 2019 and 2024.
She led the WNBA in average assists, which helped her earn the Rookie of the Year while being named a league All-Star in her first season.
