Mia Smith has a big recruitment class coming in for 2025-2026:
More details to follow. Here are the names:
Madison Sears, Libertyville
Caitlin Leyden, Maine South
Asia Kobylarczyk, Maine South (now there's a great name for you!)
Megan Allen, Monticello
Sofia Flynn, Trinity transfer, coming in as a senior
Ashley Mahlum, Barrington (yes, Laura Mahlum's sister)
Kaidyn King, Batavia
Lucy Hynes, Lockport
Rena Robinson, Arch Bishop Mitty (CA.)
Looks promising with some real size, too. Of course, it will depend on how quickly the newbies adjust to the IWU "run and jump" system, to college life in general, and the speed and style of play of CCIW women's basketball at the IWU level.
IWU has four key returning starters/rotation members from last year's 28-2 team: Sawyer White, Sara Balli, Ava Bardic, and Laura Mahlum. Mahlum has now recovered from injury. Hard to replace the departing seniors (Huber, Palmer, Powers, and Knudsen), but I'm pretty optimistic about the next edition competing strongly for another CCIW championship.
Happy Summer, all. May Term now. Last week of the regular semester, IWU had four more conference championships: men's Lacrosse, men's golf, baseball and softball. More games to come now, in conference tournaments and in national D3 tournament play. Go Titans!
