Iowa WBB lands Knox College guard Bria Medina
Portal Jan continues to add to her roster. The Hawkeyes came into the offseason needing to land several guards in the transfer portal and they just got their fourth one of the cycle. On Wednesday afternoon, the news broke via The Des Moines Register’s Chad Leistikow that Iowa landed a commitment from DIII Knox College transfer Bria Medina. She will have one year of eligibility remaining to use with the Hawkeyes.
A 5-foot-6 guard out of Tucson, Arizona, Medina has been a scoring machine for the Prairie Fire at the DIII level. She accumulated 1,524 points in 78 career games for Knox College, including scoring 25+ points in 15 games. Medina scored 37 points against Millikin as a sophomore, but one upped it as a junior, putting up a career-high 40 points against Illinois College.
A three-time All-Midwest Conference selection, she was named Midwest Conference Player of the Year this past season as a junior. She ranked fifth in the NCAA (DI-DIII) in scoring, averaging 23.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Medina shot 46.9% from the floor, 35.6% from three-point range and 86.9% at the free throw line.
