IVCC women’s basketball looks to take another step forward

In his third season as IVCC women’s basketball coach, Marc Lowe said he has a “fun group to watch.”“Once our freshmen really understand the process of the college level, this group will be a lot of fun and there will be a lot of excitement,” Lowe said.And with veteran leadership and a strong freshman class, Lowe hopes there will be more wins as well. The Eagles went 3-22 in Lowe’s first season as the program was coming off a year without a team, then went 11-18 last season.“We just want to be better than last year,” Lowe said about the team’s goals. “We really turned it around from my first year to my second year, so I expect this group to turn it around from last year. We made the playoffs last year, so I’m hoping that we can host a playoff game this year. That’s the goal. We want to get better every day in practice.”The Eagles return three starters in St. Bede graduates Ashlyn Ehm (13.8 points, 8.1 rebounds per game in 2025-26) and Quinn McClain (7.8 ppg, 8.1 rpg) and Woodland alumna
