Teagan Mallegni, a 6-foot-1 sophomore forward on the Iowa women's basketball team, has entered the NCAA transfer portal after two years with the Hawkeyes. Mallegni, who offered 3-point shooting potential primarily at the '4' position, struggled to find consistent playing time in her second season with the program.
Why it matters
Mallegni's departure is a setback for the Iowa women's basketball team, which is looking to build on its recent success and compete for a Big Ten title. Her decision to transfer opens up a scholarship spot that the Hawkeyes will need to fill for the upcoming season.
The details
According to a source close to the situation, Mallegni has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal after two seasons with the Iowa women's basketball team. The 6-foot-1 forward was expected to provide 3-point shooting and depth in the frontcourt, but she struggled to earn consistent playing time and never fully established herself in the rotation.
- Mallegni joined the Iowa women's basketball team in 2024 as part of the program's 2024 recruiting class.
- She played two seasons with the Hawkeyes, appearing in 35 games over that span.
