Former Iowa women’s basketball player and color commentator Jamie Cavey-Lang has passed away at the age of 41 following a hard-fought battle with cancer on Sunday, according to an email sent on Monday morning.

Cavey-Lang was a member of the Hawkeye women’s squad from 2001-05, logging 1,265 points and 506 rebounds and earning two All-Big Ten selections. She led Iowa to four postseason appearances, including two NCAA Tournaments in 2002 and 2004.

Cavey-Lang briefly played overseas before returning to Iowa City and the University of Iowa in 2015 as a career coach in the Pomerantz Career Center, where she helped assist students with planning their professional careers. Cavey-Lang was promoted to the Director of Assessment and Analytics in 2021, a role she held until her death.

In 2016, the Hawkeye Radio Network named her the new color commentator on Iowa women’s basketball radio broadcast alongside Rob Brooks. Cavey-Lang called games through the 2022-23 season, which saw the Hawkeyes advance to the NCAA Championship Game.
