IOWA CITY — Iowa guard Kylie Feuerbach will miss the 2022-23 season after tearing the ACL in her right knee during a team workout this week, coach Lisa Bluder said Friday in a news release.

Feuerbach’s injury leaves the Hawkeyes with one fewer rotational player at guard. The former Iowa State transfer was one of five Iowa players to appear in all 32 games last season. She started two games and averaged 14.6 minutes per game.

Feuerbach averaged 3.4 points per game while shooting 42.4 percent from the field. Her seven points on perfect 3-for-3 shooting in a quarter helped the Hawkeyes shift the momentum against then-No. 6 Michigan on their way to a Big Ten regular-season title.

Central Michigan transfer Molly Davis and fellow guard Sydney Affolter could help fill the void left by Feuerbach’s absence.

The junior from Sycamore, Ill., will have surgery later this month, according to the release.
