The University of Iowa women's basketball team retired the jersey number of star center Megan Gustafson tonight at a ceremony honoring this year's team.

The honor was given to Gustafson at the team's "Celebr-EIGHT" ceremony held at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Tuesday night. The event was held to celebrate the numerous accomplishments of this year's team, including a run to the Elite Eight round of the 2019 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.

She was presented by Athletics Director Gary Barta with a framed jersey bearing the number 10, the number she wore while playing at Iowa.
