Wisconsin’s women’s basketball program landed class of 2025 forward Ines García Monje on Monday.
Marisa Moseley and her staff continue diversifying their roster with another overseas acquisition. The Badgers recently received commitments from Spanish guard Alba Martín Mesa and Serbian wing Jovana Spasovski to join their program for the 2024-25 slate.
While García Monje won’t join UW until the 2025-26 season, the commitment is certainly notable. This summer, she represented Spain at the FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup in Mexico and averaged 10 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in seven games.
In the team’s final bout, she scored a game-best 15 points and 10 boards to propel Spain to a third-place finish behind the United States and France. She pocketed second-team nods for her all-around efforts on the hardwood.
García Monje is listed at 6’2” and epitomizes what a modern international player can bring to the table. With fellow Spaniard Alba Martín Mesa on the platoon this coming season, she will arrive in Madison with an ability to contribute immediately.

The Badgers begin their 2024 season with an exhibition against UW-Stevens Point on Oct. 29 at the Kohl Center. The crew will look to secure its second straight playoff berth following its WNIT quarterfinals finish in 2023.
