To cap off what was a wonderful season for the women of Iowa basketball, we had a couple of big time awards issued to two members of the program on Saturday morning. Naismith has named Lisa Bluder their National Coach of the Year, while Megan Gustafson is National Player of the Year.
Gustafson, who has already amassed a large list of awards this season, is not only the first Iowa player (men’s or women’s hoops) to win the award, but she’s also the first Big Ten player to win Naismith Women’s Player of the Year.
