Marshall’s Iowa Career and Education

Marshall shared the court with Clark throughout their time at Iowa. She was a guard and is described as a reliable starter and defensive presence whose steady play and leadership were cited as integral parts of the Hawkeyes’ success from 2020 through 2024. After college, Marshall chose not to pursue a WNBA career and instead focused on academics, earning a master’s degree in occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.

Relocation to Indianapolis and Indiana Fever Link
