Iowa women’s basketball has gone international.

The Hawkeyes landed a commitment from Swedish forward Ella Strömdahl, per Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register.

Strömdahl, who will turn 19 in August, stands six feet tall and is a native of Uppsala, Sweden. The 6-foot forward averaged 6.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game on the RIG Lulea Swedish academy team last season. Strömdahl has played on Sweden’s under-16 and under-18 national teams.

ANOTHER ONE: Iowa has landed a 6-foot forward out of Sweden in Ella Stromdahl, a source tells the Register. She'll join McKenna Woliczko in the Class of 2026. Hawkeyes likely done at 11 players.
