Naomi Barnwell gives Iona a physical, experienced forward who can score in bunches
Barnwell entered the 2025-26 season as a graduate transfer with real production behind her: she averaged 6.6 points and 4.7 rebounds for Iona in early 2025-26 stretch notes, and later season updates show her around 4.9–5.3 points and 3.7–4.0 rebounds per game while handling about 19–23 minutes. She’s a 6-1 forward with length, rebounding juice, and defensive value—46 career blocks at Robert Morris plus strong college experience at Monroe. The big appeal: she brings toughness, inside-out versatility, and a veteran floor, though efficiency has been the swing skill.
