Kylie could not participate in Iowa games in the 2022 season because of sustaining an ACL tear. However, she participated in the 2023-2024 season and she was also a key contributor as the Hawkeyes won their third straight Big Ten Tournament title and punched their ticket to their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament final.

“This year was just as special, for sure, and it was nice to be able to get on the court and be playing,” Feuerbach said as per Shaw Local. “Getting the experience last year, going into it this year we knew what to expect – there’s just a lot going on all the time during the tournament – and I think that helped us a lot.”

 

“I would honestly say that I was a little more composed this year because I knew I was going to be playing. My nerves were a little more controlled.

Last year, as basically just a spectator, you get more wrapped up into the game and take things more seriously because you’re really able to get into it and see everything. I really think it was cool to see both sides of it the last two years.”

Kylie Feuerbach averaged 2.6 points and 1.3 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game. She will replace Gabbie Marshall, who has entered graduate school, as a defensive stopper.
