Fellow Iowa Hawkeyes guard Teagan Mallegni has joined her former teammate, Addie Deal, in Madison.
The Wisconsin Badgers were able to land both Hawkeyes in a move that will create an extremely interesting conference game in the 2026-27 season.
Wisconsin announced Mallegni had officially made the move to Madison and will be playing for the Badgers next year. This transfer comes in an extremely quick turnaround after Deal also transferred from Iowa.
While Deal is a projected starter, Mallegni will likely be a key role player off Robin Pingeton's bench. The soon-to-be junior appeared in 45 games for Iowa but has yet to make a start at the collegiate level.
Mallegni, a McFarland, WI, native, averaged just 1.5 points per game last season, which was a huge drop from the 3.2 she averaged as a freshman.
At 6-foot-1, Mallegni is the 13th player on this Badgers roster. Wisconsin still needs a bit of extra height to help take this team to the next level, but stealing a pair of players from a Big Ten rival shows Pingeton isn't messing around.
