IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Iowa women’s basketball team has added what appears to be the final two pieces to its 2026-27 roster.
The Hawkeyes have gained a verbal commitment from 5-foot-6 junior guard Cambria “Bria” Medina, who played for Division III Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois where she averaged 23.6 points, 5.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game last season. She also shot 87 percent from the free throw line.
Medina, who is from Tucson, Arizona, will have one season of eligibility.
Medina finished second in Division III in scoring last season. She was also named the Midwest Conference Player of the Year and made first-team all-conference three times while at Knox.
Iowa also has received a verbal commitment from Swedish freshman forward Ella Stromdahl, who averaged 6.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while playing for RIG Lulea in the Swedish Professional League.
The Des Moines Register was the first to report on the two commitments.
After losing five players to the transfer portal shortly after this past season ended, Iowa has since added five players to its roster.
In addition to Medina and Stromdahl, Iowa also has signed former Georgia guard Dani Carnegie, former Oklahoma State guard Amari Whiting and former Georgia forward Jocelyn Faison.
Iowa finished 27-7 this past season, including 15-3 in the Big Ten, and advanced to the second-round of the NCAA Tournament under second-year coach Jan Jensen.
