The medical redshirt rule in WBB is a tougher one to figure out. I can't find the rule on the NCAA's website, so I'm kind of stuck finding articles online. Basically:
"To gain a medical redshirt, the athlete cannot compete in more than 30 percent of her team’s games within a season, not counting contests officially designated as scrimmages or exhibition games." However, "games played in postseason tournaments, such as a conference tournament or the NCAA or NIT tournaments, count among the team’s total games played."
So our Aaliyah Moore should get the medical redshirt. She made it to game #9 out of a 32 game minimum schedule (regular season plus at least one Big12 tourney game). That's 28% of the season, so it would seem that AMO should get an extra year. Soares is different story. She made it to game #14 in a 30 game guaranteed schedule (regular season plus at least one Big12 tourney game). That's 46% of the season - so no medical redshirt. But what about adding post-season games? Well, by my count, even if Iowa State swept the Big12 tourney and won the national championship, that would still only be 39 games which would mean Soares played 35% of the season. So I don't think she can get an extra year based upon a medical redshirt. I can't find the official NCAA rule, but here is the article where I found the information (don't see a date on on the article). If someone can find the NCAA rule, I'd love to see if this is accurate:
