Iowa women's basketball lauds team-first mentality of McKenna Woliczko

In a recent interview with KCRG Sports' "OnIowa Live," Iowa women's basketball graduating senior guard Taylor McCabe and assistant coach LaSondra Barrett spoke on the excitement surrounding incoming freshman power forward McKenna Woliczko and lauded her work ethic and team-first mentality. "She's one that's going to come and do the dirty work, too. It's not going to always be about, 'I'm a McDonald's All-American, and I need the ball.

' It's all self-driven. She's one that's going to come in and blend in and be that Iowa kid. It's about the team.

And being able to get an All-American that's selfless and has a team-first mentality is special," Barrett said of Woliczko. Tonight at OnIowa Live, our guests LaSondra Barrett and Taylor McCabe told us why Hawkeye fans should be excited about their newest highly-touted high school recruit, McKenna Woliczko.
