119 "en I looked at the campus and the business program. When I met the team, that sealed it for me." In two seasons as a Hawkeye, Gustafson has started 48 games. She averages 14.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks a game and shoots 61 percent from the field. Bluder sees more strength and body balance in Gustafson this season. "And her confidence grows every year," Bluder added. Gustafson hopes to maintain the production she had as a sophomore when she averaged 18.5 points and 10.1 rebounds. "I want to help any way I can," Gustafson said. "Rebounding is a big option for me and then field goal percentage is something high on my priority — being able to have those high percentage shots, because I know my teammates depend on that." Last season Gustafson made 260 of 402 field goal attempts. Her 64.7 shooting percentage was second in the Big Ten and fih in the NCAA. "If I try to play my hardest for my team and my school," then Gustafson pauses. "Some people have been talking about All-American — that is not what I am focusing on." Gustafson focuses on winning. She brought that attitude with her from tiny Port Wing, Wisconsin.
