University of Iowa women’s basketball redshirt senior Molly Davis suffered an injury to her right knee against Ohio State on Sunday. The announcement came Monday by Head Coach Lisa Bluder.

The 5-foot-7 guard is expected to undergo physical therapy next week to improve mobility for postseason play.

Bluder said, “While we feel for Molly that she got injured during Senior Day, we are so thankful that the injury she sustained is not season ending, Our program has appreciated everyone’s support and prayers as we look forward to her return at some point during the postseason.”

Davis has started 26 games this season, and is averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 assists and is leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio at +2.51. The native of Midland, Michigan, has played pivotal minutes in every game this season for the Hawkeyes.

Olivia Engler of Luther College was named the American Rivers Conference Pitcher of the Week.

The Junior from Atlantic High School helped the Norse to a 1-1 week at the Rochester Dome Games.  Luther first picked up a win over Grinnell in eight innings 2-1.  Engler completed seven innings of work only allowing one hit and no runs.  She recorded five strikeouts on 23 batters faced while giving up four walks.  This win is going down as her first win in the circle in 2024.

In game two, the Norse fell to Macalester College, 3-2.  Engler came in the final two innings, allowing three hits.  She had one strikeout and again gave up no earned runs during her time on the mound.

Luther is now 1-3 on the season as they prepare to head south for The Spring Games March 16 through March 23 in Clearmont, Florida.

Engler picked up her first career Pitcher of the Week recognition.
