Feuerbach and Affolter smiled for the camera in their black and white dresses. The Chicago White Sox unveiled their Nike City Connect series uniforms on Monday and invited the Iowa duo to the event. The uniform was made to honor the two Chicago franchises, the Bulls and the White Sox. They collaborated to create the first jersey to utilize elements from MLB and NBA teams.

Feuerbach averaged 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in 25.5 minutes while shooting 38.0% for the Hawkeyes last season. Affolter recorded 8.5 ppg, on 47.7% shooting, including 46.3% from beyond the arc, along with 7.8 rpg and 2.7 apg in 29.4 minutes.

Kylie Feuerbach returning for final season with Iowa Hawkeyes

Kylie Feuerbach is set to return for one more year with the Iowa Hawkeyes. The guard announced on March 18 that she will play her fifth season, making it her sixth overall in college basketball. Feuerbach started her collegiate career at Iowa State in 2020-21 before transferring to Iowa.

Throughout the 2024-25 campaign, Feuerbach remained noncommittal when asked about her plans. She was presented with another year of college basketball after an NCAA-granted COVID year and a medical redshirt due to a torn ACL that sidelined her for the entire 2022-23 season.

Hawkeyes coach Jan Jensen welcomed the news after the announcement and highlighted Feuerbach's leadership and defensive prowess.

“We are thrilled to have Kylie return for an extra season,” Jensen said on March 18, via The Des Moines Register. “She is a tremendous teammate above all and will give us some veteran leadership for next year. She will return as one of the top defenders in the Big Ten.”

Feuerbach is coming off her best season, starting all 32 games, logging a career-high 25.3 minutes per game and averaging 6.4 points, also a personal best.
