IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Tania Davis drilled the game-winning 3 with 2.3 seconds to go and 16th-ranked Iowa held off Iowa State 73-70, giving the Hawkeyes three straight wins in the series for the first time in over two decades.

UNDATED (AP) — Iowa’s T.J. Hockenson is the Mackey Award winner as the best tight end in the country. Hockenson is the first sophomore to win the award in its 19-year history and the second player from Iowa, joining Dallas Clark in 2002.

PHOENIX (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have struck gold in their search for a big hitter, getting All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a multiplayer trade.
