After one season leading Iowa women’s basketball while thriving under a bright spotlight, Olsen will get her professional chance. The Hawkeyes point guard went No. 23 overall in the April 14 WNBA Draft, going to the Washington Mystics with the 11th pick of the second round. Olsen becomes the sixth Iowa player picked in the last seven WNBA Drafts, joining Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin (2024), Monika Czinano (2023), Kathleen Doyle (2022) and Megan Gustafson (2019). It also marks the first time since 1997-99 that Iowa had selections in three consecutive drafts.
