Former Iowa women's basketball player lands first coaching job
The 6-foot-2, native of Hudsonville, Michigan played a total of 68 games for the Hawkeyes from 2021 to 2025, where she averaged just 1.7 points on 57.6% from the floor and 65.5% from the free-throw line to go along with 1.0 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.1 steals in 3:49 of action per game. Ediger would also finish her Hawkeyes career with three blocks.
While Ediger came in off the bench mainly when the results of games were essentially determined, the graduate assistant role in Milwaukee will provide her with valuable skills that she could use to advance herself in the field of coaching, if that is what she desires.
Regardless of her future endeavors beyond this upcoming season, Ediger is another example of a former Hawkeye taking their love for the game of basketball to the next level.

Sophie Cunningham Facing Criticism For 'Weird' Behavior With Teammates
Sophie Cunningham Facing Criticism For 'Weird' Behavior With Teammates originally appeared on The Spun. WNBA star Sophie Cunningham might be playing some of the best basketball of her career right now, and yet, she's receiving a decent amount of criticism on social media. Cunningham stepped up for the Indiana Fever on Sunday, dropping 17 points in a 78-74 victory over the Seattle Storm. She has really stepped up during Caitlin Clark's absence, averaging 11.7 points per contest over the past two weeks. Off the court, Cunningham is keeping herself busy with her new "Show Me Something" podcast. During her debut episode, she ripped the current state of officiating in the WNBA. "If I was a ref, I know I would mess up all the time," Cunningham said. "I'm not saying that your job is easy. But when it is a a simple call right in front of your face multiple times, what are you doing? What are you doing? They're just so inconsistent. Like, if you're on the other team and you're going to be fining the [expletive] out of me, cool. But let me do it to you. Yeah. You know what I mean?" For the most part, fans appreciated Cunningham's honesty on her podcast. What they didn't like was her pregame interaction with Fever guard Sydney Colson Cunningham and Lexie Hull basically sat on Colson as she was lacing up her sneakers on the hardwood. It seemed like a playful interaction, but some people found it to be weird and downright childish. "This is actually very weird," one fan replied after seeing this video. "Diabolical," a second fan commented. "That is so childish," another fan wrote. "I don't like this one bit and I'm not debating," a fourth fan said. The Fever are riding a five-game winning streak right now, so there shouldn't be any concerns about the culture in the locker room. Besides, this genuinely seemed like a joke between teammates and nothing more. Do you think Cunningham crossed the line? Or are her critics trying to make something out of nothing?Sophie Cunningham Facing Criticism For 'Weird' Behavior With Teammates first appeared on The Spun on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
