Jensen is in her 23rd season with the Iowa women’s basketball team, helping lead the Hawkeyes to 17 NCAA Tournament appearances and 21 postseason berths overall. Iowa has won four Big Ten Tournament titles and two Big Ten regular season championships during that time.

In Clark’s first two seasons, she holds numerous National Point Guard of the Year awards, All American honors, as well as being named the 2022 and 2023 Big Ten Player of the Year.”
