A look at Gabbie Marshall and Caitlin Clark’s friendship
When Clark joined the Hawkeyes in 2020, Gabbie Marshall was a sophomore. Over the next four years, the two grew close, along with Kate Martin. In the final season together, the three formed the core for lowa’s run to its second NCAA championship title game appearance.
Although they failed in their pursuit, the relationship and synergy they built on the court was one of the biggest draws for fans who tuned into the games. For her teammates, Caitlin Clark was a sign of hope.
“(Caitlin) had a vision, she had a belief, and she brought us all with her,” Marshall said via The Daily Iowan.
“She got us all to buy in and believe that we can make it to the Final Four, and I think just doing that in back-to-back years just shows what belief in a team can do for you.”
Gabbie Marshall also spoke about Clark’s competitiveness. Coach Bluder once revealed that she had to give her technical calls because of how competitive she gets during practice
“She wants to win. She hates losing, so that’s where that comes into play the technicals, Marshall said. “But then, she’s so goofy and fun and loving in the locker room and just on off the court, so I think it’s good that she has that balance.”
Marshall headed lowa’s defense and played a crucial role in containing opponents. She has received praise from everyone, including the now- Fever guard.
“Gabbie Marshall comes up with big plays all the time. You see it time and time again for us,” Caitlin Clark said. “She doesn’t get enough credit.”
After the controversial foul call in the Final Four game against the UConn Huskies, Caitlin Clark defended Marshall:
“When Paige made tough baskets, Gabbie responded, kept guarding her. I’m really proud of her, and I’m proud of our group for just being able to flip the page and move on to the next play.”
While Clark has taken her basketball talents to the WNBA, Marshall is back in school for her master’s in Occupational Therapy.
