Molly Davis

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa women’s basketball redshirt senior Molly Davis suffered an injury to her right knee against Ohio State on Sunday, head coach Lisa Bluder announced Monday.

The 5-foot-7 guard is expected to undergo physical therapy to improve mobility for postseason play.

“While we feel for Molly that she got injured during Senior Day, we are so thankful that the injury she sustained is not season ending,” said Bluder. “Our program has appreciated everyone’s support and prayers as we look forward to her return at some point during the postseason.”

Davis has started 26 games this season and is averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 assists and is leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.51.
