Hannah Stuelke Selected for 2025 USA Women’s AmeriCup Team

Hannah Stuelke, an accomplished athlete from Iowa City, is making headlines as she prepares for her senior season. Following her achievements, including being named the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year in 2023 and earning a second-team All-Big Ten title in 2024, Stuelke has once again added to her accolades by securing a spot on the 2025 USA Women’s AmeriCup Team. This remarkable achievement follows her crucial role in leading the Hawkeyes to consecutive National Championship games.

About the AmeriCup

The FIBA Women’s AmeriCup is a biennial tournament that showcases national teams, providing a pathway for qualification to the FIBA Women’s World Cup and the Olympics. Established in 1989, the first tournament was won by Cuba. Although the U.S. women’s team has prevailed in the Olympics, their participation in the AmeriCup has varied, with four titles under their belt in 1993, 2007, 2019, and 2021. The team secured a second-place finish in the 2023 edition, falling to Brazil 69-58 in the finals.

Stuelke’s Historic Selection

Stuelke’s inclusion marks a significant milestone as she becomes the first player from the University of Iowa to be selected for an AmeriCup roster. As she joins a talented group that includes Iowa State’s Audi Crooks and LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson, Stuelke aims to help the U.S. team reclaim its dominance after the previous year’s loss.

Performance Overview

During the last season with the Hawkeyes, Stuelke exhibited impressive performance statistics, averaging 13.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting an outstanding 58.4% from the field. Her experience will be invaluable as she contributes to a relatively young team aiming to make an impact at the tournament.

Upcoming Matches

Fans will have the opportunity to watch Stuelke and her teammates when the competition kicks off on June 28, with their opening game against the host nation, Chile. The time for this match has yet to be announced. Following that, the U.S. squad will face Colombia on June 29. All tournament games will be available for streaming on Max.
