Lucy Olsen seems to have adapted well to her new surroundings as a first-year member of the Hawkeyes (6-0).

After six games, Olsen is averaging 17.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.5 rebounds on 48.9% shooting from the field and 29.2% from beyond the arc in six games. Her last performance against Washington State saw her finish with 17 points, eight rebounds, and five assists on 7-of-15 shooting overall.

She has been a solid positive for an Iowa squad transitioning from the Caitlin Clark era, boasting team averages of 80.8 points with a shooting accuracy of 49.1%. On defense, they only concede 59.3 points on 34.2% shooting overall and 29.9% from three.

Two other players outside Lucy Olsen are scoring double-digits for the Hawkeyes: Addison O'Grady and Hannah Stuelke. O'Grady is putting up 15 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, while Stuelke has 14.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists.

Iowa Hawkeyes face a Rhode Island Rams unit that began their season with a 4-3 record. They average 63.3 points on offense and allow 53.3 points on defense.

While the Rams do not have a high-powered offense, they rely more on balanced scoring from their players, with six scoring eight or more points per game. Harsimran Kaur is the only player averaging double digits in scoring, with 10.1 points, while Sophie Phillips stands out as the squad's best perimeter shooter, with 12 three-pointers made so far this season.

After this game, the No. 22 Hawkeyes will play BYU on Friday at 9 p.m. ET at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Cancun, Mexico.
