She won the Icelandic championship in 2011 and 2013 as a member of Keflavík and has won the Icelandic Basketball Cup three times, in 2008, 2011 and 2015.
Playing career
[edit]After being part of Grindavík's successful junior programs, where her group won several junior Icelandic championships,[1] she played her first games with the senior team during the 2005-2006 Úrvalsdeild season.[2] She won her first major trophy on 24 February 2008 when Grindavík defeated Haukar, 77–67, in the Icelandic Cup finals.[3][4][5]
On 25 November 2009, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament in a game against Haukar in the Úrvalsdeild and missed the rest of the season.[6][7][8] After recovering, she joined Keflavík prior to the 2010–2011 season and helped the club win both the national championship[9][10] and the Icelandic Cup, where she was a key player down the stretch in Keflavík's 62–72 victory.[11]
On 21 September 2011, she again tore her anterior cruciate ligament, this time four minutes into Keflavík's first game of the Company Cup, and missed the rest of the season.[8] In August 2012, Ingibjörg signed with Aabyhoj in Denmark.[12] She returned to Keflavík in February 2013[13] and finished the season with the club. She won her second national championship with Keflavík on 29 April 2013.[14] After the season, she left Keflavík and signed with Grindavík.[15]
Ingibjörg helped Grindavík win the Icelandic cup in 2015[16] despite suffering an early injury during the game.[17] During the 2016–2017 season, she again had problems with injury, missing several games because of broken ribs.[18] With several other key players missing games due to injuries, Grindavík's season ended in a disappointment as the team was relegated to 1. deild kvenna.[19] Ingibjörg missed the 2017–2018 season due to pregnancy but returned to the team in September 2018.[20] In April 2019, she helped Grindavík defeat 1. deild kvenna champions Fjölnir, 3–0, in the promotion playoffs for a seat in the Úrvalsdeild.[21]
