It went by in a flash for Lucy Olsen. It went by even faster for Iowa fans. They got the luxury of watching some of the recent Hawkeye greats play for five and even six seasons, but Olsen, the former Villanova transfer, gets just one season in the black and gold. Lucy quickly became a fan favorite at Carver and has been just as impactful as many hoped she would be, averaging a team-high 17.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Iowa is one win away from reaching 20 for the ninth consecutive season.

On Thursday afternoon, Lucy Olsen met with the media talking about her brief one year stay at Iowa, why she chose the Hawkeyes and why her time in Iowa City easily surpassed expectations. She spoke about the ups and downs of the season and why she smiles so much on the court.
