Lucy Olsen looks to be having fun with her new teammates after transferring to Iowa this April. The former Villanova guard will play her final college year with the Hawkeyes and is predicted to be the probable replacement for scoring leader Caitlin Clark.
On Wednesday, Olsen posted a TikTok with Iowa's incoming junior forward Hannah Stuelke. The two were executing perfect dance moves to Million Dollar Baby by Tommy Richman.

Lucy Olsen spent three seasons with the Wildcats but had her best as a junior. The guard averaged 23.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game. She shot 43.8% from the floor, but Olsen needs more work on her 3-point shooting, as she only made 29.4% of her attempts.
Hannah Stuelke, meanwhile, is preparing for her third season with the Iowa Hawkeyes. After a quiet freshman season, Stuelke exploded in her sophomore year, as she played 24.5 minutes and started in 32 of 35 games.
The forward averaged 14.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists and made 62.7% of her shots from the floor.
Lucy Olsen shares her excitement for her upcoming season with the Hawkeyes
Even before she made the move to Iowa, Lucy Olsen was aware of the camaraderie the Hawkeyes shared off-court, which helped them play better together on the court.
“Just their confidence in each other, you can see that when they’re passing the ball to someone else,” Olsen said to the Daily Iowan. “They’re not worried that they’re going to mess up. They’re like, ‘It’s your turn, hit that shot.’”
At the same time, Olsen is well-aware of the expectations on her with the departure of NCAA all-time scorer Caitlin Clark. The former Iowan led the Hawkeyes from the scoring front with the help of Stuelke. It's expected that the same will follow next season as well, this time with Olsen.
“Caitlin Clark is Caitlin Clark. I’m not going to try to be her,” she said to Hawk Central. “But they need a point guard, and it’s a perfect opportunity to try to make something happen.”
“Whatever coach needs me to do: scoring, assists, defense,” Olsen added. “Yeah, I’m there to win.”
Along with Lucy Olsen, the Hawkeyes also welcome a new class of freshmen, Ava Heiden, Aaliyah Guyton, Teagan Mallegni and Taylor Stremlow
