Iowa women’s basketball signee McKenna Woliczko MaxPreps national-title game stats

In the highly-anticipated California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) Open Division state title game between Iowa women’s basketball signee McKenna Woliczko’s Archbishop Mitty and Ontario Christian from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Saturday, March 14, the Monarchs unfortunately fell short of their ultimate goal by a 56-49 to the Lady Knights.

As an added sense of intrigue, Archbishop Mitty was ranked No. 2 in the MaxPreps national rankings, and Ontario Christian was No. 1, so the game effectively determined the MaxPreps national champion for 2026.

Despite the disappointing result in the title game to Ontario Christian, Woliczko was able to record her 13th double-double of the season (21 games played) with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Over her 21 games played this season, Woliczko finished with an average of 20.2 points on 68.9% shooting, 40% from 3-point range, and 80.8% from the free-throw line, to go along with 11 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 1.3 steals per contest.

During her four year tenure at Archbishop Mitty, she scored an average of 21.3 points on 63.7% shooting and collected 9.4 rebounds per game.

Although this is now her fourth consecutive state runner-up finish, it still does not diminish the illustrious collection of honors that the 6-foot-2 forward from San Bruno, California, has collected in 2026 alone. Those distinctions include being named to the MaxPreps National Player of the Year watch list, a Naismith Trophy Girls’ High School Player of the Year semifinalist, a member of the 2026 Team USA Junior Women’s Basketball Nike Hoops Summit roster, 2026 McDonald’s All-American, and Cal-Hi Sports’ Winter Season Player of the Year.

Woliczko is Iowa’s highest-ranked signee since Caitlin Clark in 2020, checking in as the nation’s No. 6 player, the No. 2 power forward and the No. 2 player from California, per 247Sports. She is Jan Jensen’s highest-ranked signee in her tenure as coach of the Hawkeyes.

As her spectacular tenure at Archbishop Mitty has come to a close, Iowa fans are more than eager to see her continue her dominance alongside the collection of Hawkeyes talent on the Carver-Hawkeye Arena parquet court donning the Black and Gold for years to come.
