Stout Women’s Basketball Honors Legacy and Future this Saturday

In a heartfelt celebration of both past and present triumphs, the UW-Stout women’s basketball team is gearing up for a big event this Saturday at Johnson Fieldhouse.

The Blue Devils, who made a magical run to the final four last March, plan to commemorate their historic achievements with a special ceremony.

This event will feature the unveiling of their final four banner and a ring ceremony.

The festivities kick off at 2:45 p.m., just before they host Augsburg University.

Head coach Hannah Iverson calls this a golden opportunity to honor the players, coaches, and supporters who built the foundation for their successful 2024-25 team.

This squad boasts a strong 23-8 record and a national semifinal appearance.
