Former Iowa women's basketball guard Callie Levin named UNI captain

After transferring to Northern Iowa over the offseason, former Iowa women's basketball guard Callie Levin has been named a Panthers team captain this season .

Voted on by her teammates, Levin was chosen as one of Northern Iowa's three captains.

"I want to be a leader, right from the start on the court," Levin said. "Just being able to have my teammates trust me from the get-go is huge. I love these girls and what we've been able to do this summer, and so yeah, being chosen as a captain is amazing."

Northern Iowa head women's basketball coach Tanya Warren praised Levin.

"The one thing that I know was unanimous is her work ethic, her communication, and how she never, ever, ever changes whether she's scoring or she's not. Her communication is steady," Warren said of Levin's selection.

Levin was a fan favorite during her two seasons at Iowa. During her two seasons in Iowa City, the 5-foot-9 guard from Solon High School appeared in 29 career games, scoring 25 points, grabbing 17 rebounds, dishing 15 assists, and registering nine steals.

Levin will return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Nov. 12 as the Panthers take on the Hawkeyes, with tipoff at 7:30 p.m. CT on the Big Ten Network.
