Magdalena Winter gives UIC a sturdy, high-IQ post presence
Winter has quickly become a reliable interior piece for UIC, starting 20 of 28 games in 2025-26 while averaging 5.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists, and she led the Flames in field-goal percentage at 58.8%[3][9]. Her calling card is efficient, low-mistake frontcourt play: she earned MVC Freshman of the Week honors after a strong November stretch and has already shown double-double upside and rim protection, including 26 blocks last season and a season-high four blocks in one game[3][5]. She looks like a good fit for teams needing size, rebounding, and steady paint play rather than a high-usage scorer[3][9].
