After finishing off her career at Iowa last month, Gabbie Marshall is saying goodbye to the game of basketball.
Marshall said her farewell to hoops in a touching Instagram post on Sunday afternoon.
“As I am nearing my last month in Iowa City ready to take on the next chapter of my life, I have had lots of time to reflect on all the incredible memories I have made, opportunities I have been given, people I have met, and friendships that will last forever because of the game of basketball,” Marshall wrote. “It has been my whole life for the past 18 years, I appreciate all the highs and lows, lessons I have learned and everything in between. Five-year-old me would be so proud of how far I have come and all that I have experienced.”
The Cincinnati native also took time to shout out the Iowa program and fanbase for the roles they have played in their life.
“Most importantly I think about the journey I have been on these last 5 years at the place where I was able to live out my dreams and accomplish so much more than I could’ve even imagined,” Marshall wrote. “Thank you Iowa and Hawkeye Nation for being my home away from home, for showing me so much love and support & for giving me the best ending to the sport that has shaped my life.”
From her first day on campus, the 5-foot-9 Marshall was an important “glue” piece for Iowa. She became a full-time starter in her second season and finished her career with 166 games played and 137 starts.
A career 39.2% shooter from three-point range, Marshall was also a shutdown defender for the Hawkeyes. She became the first player in Iowa women’s basketball history with 200 made three-pointers and 200 steals in a career and also topped 1,000 points for her career.
Marshall averaged 6.6 points, 1.7 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game for her tenure.
