Marshall created a popular pizza for Riverside earlier in the year called the “Gabbizza,” which is available exclusively at the 22 & Vine restaurant inside the resort.

The pizza features ingredients handpicked by Marshall—chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and a special ranch Alfredo sauce prepared on a sourdough crust.

“It’s an honor to host Gabbie Marshall at Riverside and we are pleased to give our guests a chance to meet her,” said Riverside General Manager Damon John.

“She’s an impressive person outside of her success on the basketball court and we are thrilled to partner with her through SWARM.”

Guests are encouraged to bring their own items for Marshall to sign and she will be available to take photos.

RAYGUN has created several Marshall t-shirts including The Spark, Gabbizza, Pretty Eyes, and Defender and Sniper. The shirts will be available to purchase at the Riverside Gift Shop.

Gabbie Marshall leads the Iowa Hawkeyes’ defensive end and has played a crucial role in the team’s exploits since she joined in 2019. She averages 6.1 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.

The sixth-year senior is currently enrolled in pre-med studies and intends to finish a degree in occupational therapy.

Gabbie Marshall’s biggest inspiration for her on-court excellence is her parents, Ernest and Marne Marshall, both former basketball players.

Who are Gabbie Marshall’s parents?

Know more about Gabbie Marshall’s family

Gabbie Marshall has three siblings, Noah, Luke and Lily. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native, has called them her three biggest blessings in life and also said:

“It was always instilled in me since I was a little girl how important keeping your family close is in life. My dad always said “I always want my kiddos to be close no matter what”. So, this is an appreciation post for the best sibs in the biz. You all make me so happy & make it so easy to love you” (via Instagram)

Gabbie Marshall’s career in basketball began at Mount Notre Dame High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she won two state titles in 2017 and 2019, and was named all-state three times.

Speaking about her final year in school, the guard said:

“My mentality this year is to focus on my teammates. Just making the most of every opportunity that I get, all the memories that we’re making. I think it’s really bittersweet.”

“I think in my other years I’ve just focused on improving in basketball, which I’m still doing but at the same time, I know I’m nearing the end of my basketball career forever. I’m just trying to soak in all the memories off and on the court.”

Marshall is in a relationship with Spencer Touro, a personal trainer in West Branch, Iowa. The couple celebrated their one year anniversary in December 2023.

On Friday, the Iowa star Paige Bueckers announced to the rousing crowd about her return to Uconn for senior season. She revealed her plans during Uconn’s senior night celebration.

Thus, Bueckers slashed the hopes of her WNBA appearance, where many expected her to be in the top three picks. Her announcement came at the time when Caitlin Clark, like a ‘babe-faced assasin’ shot a 35-foot 3-pointer against Michigan.

Many talked about Caitlin’s prospects in the WNBA but Paige’s new page in her career drew comparisons between the two.

Buekers spoke with gratitude to an enthusiastic crowd who cheered for the young beauty. She talked about the support she had after she missed the last season due to an ACL tear.

Giving rest to the WNBA rumors, Paige said, “I know everybody wants me to address the elephant in the room. Unfortunately, this will not be my last Senior Night here at UConn. I’m coming back.”

But fans were not soft with the judgments. One tried to take a peep into Paige’s intentions.

Top women athletes got linked to NBA numerous times

Some women were outstanding enough to be picked to rub shoulders in the hardwoods with the men.

Denise Long made history in 1969 when the Golden State Warriors drafted her as a 19-year-old. But the then NBA commissioner, Walter Kennedy, overturned the decision because Denise was drafted straight from high school.

In 1977, Luisa Harris was drafted by the New Orleans Jazz but didn’t participate due to pregnancy.

Paige became the top woman college basketball player to win the Naismith Trophy in 2021. Her ACL tear and knee injury weighed heavily on her career trajectory but she recovered soon to ignite the lamps of her bright future.

She was predicted to be behind Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and Cameron Brink to get into the WNBA before fans speculated about her NBA obsessions.
