She comes from the University of Iowa.
Lucy Olsen, a standout guard from Iowa, was selected 23rd overall by the Washington Mystics in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
After transferring from Villanova, Olsen led the Hawkeyes in scoring 17.9 points per game in 2024-25, earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors. Known for her versatile scoring, sharp court vision, and defensive tenacity, the 5’10 Pennsylvania native brings another player to the Mystics’ backcourt.
Olsen’s selection continues Iowa’s recent tradition of producing WNBA talent, following Caitlin Clark’s No. 1 overall pick in 2024.
