IOWA CITY – – Iowa women’s basketball player Johanna Solverson underwent an MRI exam Monday and tests showed no structural damage to her right knee. The sixth-year senior will play in Iowa’s post-season next week.
Solverson, who was named second team all-Big Ten, left Sunday’s Big Ten semifinals contest vs. Purdue at the 4:25 mark of the second half and did not return. The co-captain averaged 13 points, nine rebounds and two assists in Iowa’s two Big Ten Tournament games.
