For the second year in a row, Iowa senior Sharon Goodman has won the Elite 90 award from the NCAA. The Elite 90 award winner in women’s basketball recognizes the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating in the Final Four. Goodman says it’s the full team and not just her making sure they focus on academics.

The health studies major from Lime Springs has decided to end her basketball career after this season instead of rejoining the team for another season.

Goodman was part of a state title winning team at Crestwood in 2018 and says she never imagined in her high school days being able to participate in two Final Fours.

Goodman currently carries a 4.0 GPA and will be graduating in May.
