Martin and Clark were teammates at Iowa from 2020 to 2024, leading the Hawkeyes to back-to-back Final Four appearances. Clark was the face of Iowa women's basketball, averaging 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game in her collegiate career. She also became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer in both men's and women's basketball, with 3,951 points.

Clark was selected the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever and led the team to a 20-20 record, finishing sixth in the women's pro basketball league standings. She was named Rookie of the Year for her outstanding contribution to the Fever in her debut season.

Meanwhile, Martin continues to enjoy success in the WNBA after a surprising move to the Golden State Valkyries from the Las Vegas Aces. She signed a deal with Athleta's Power of She Collective, alongside Clark's Indiana teammate, Lexie Hull last month. She issued a statement following the women's performance activewear brand's announcement of the partnership.

"It's an honor to join the Power of She Collective alongside such an incredible group of athletes who are advancing both women's sports and female empowerment," she said. "I'm looking forward to working with Athleta to help elevate and recognize female athletes in the way they truly deserve."

Martin continues to shine in her first Unrivaled season as her Laces sit at 4-2 on the season after suffering a second loss against the Rose Basketball Club on Saturday.
