Kylie Feuerbach drops 2-word reaction for Iowa teammate Sydney Affolter’s special day

There was plenty to celebrate in Iowa on Monday as Kylie Feuerbach hyped up Sydney Affolter for her graduation day.

Sydney Affolter has grown significantly over the last four seasons at Iowa. She couldn't secure a starting role in her first two years but started 32 games this season. Affolter also churned out her best college year, averaging 8.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals on over 45% 3-point shooting.

Graduation day marks the end of Affolter's time with the Hawkeyes program as a player. However, fans will be able to indulge with the guard one last time this Saturday. In her partnership with Everbowl, Affolter will be at the outlet from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a meet and greet.

What does Sydney Affolter plan on doing next?

Sydney Affolter talked about her last stretch with the Iowa Hawkeyes earlier this year, sharing that she had thought about playing overseas. Nevertheless, with no solid plan, she expressed that she wanted to stay close to women's basketball in whatever capacity she could.

"I've thought about playing overseas, I'm not totally sure," Affolter said (4:28). "I would love to keep playing basketball if that's in the cards for me, but if not - potentially GA.

"I still hope to be around women's basketball, not totally sure if in what way but I think getting my masters would be great."

Sydney Affolter exits the Hawkeyes as a rare breed of hooper who has played under both Lisa Bluder and Jan Jensen.
