The Iowa Hawkeye women can sweep the in-state series with a victory today (Sunday) at Drake. The Hawkeyes have won the last 14 games in the series.

Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says close games have been common in this series.

The men have their annual Big Four Classic in Des Moines but Drake coach Jennie Baranczyk is happy the women still play round robin.

Drake is 5-3 against a non conference schedule that Baranczyk says is designed to challenge her team.

Tip-time at the Knapp Center in Des Moines, is 2-p.m.
