IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa Soccer will host nine regular season games at the Iowa Soccer Complex during the 2023 season. Iowa will play 19 regular season games and host an Aug. 7 exhibition at home against South Dakota.

Kickoff against the Coyotes is set for 3 p.m. (CT). Attendance is free for all home matches.

The regular season kicks off in Missoula, Montana, with a pair of neutral site games hosted by Montana as part of the Rumble in the Rockies tournament. The Hawkeyes face Oregon State at 3 p.m. on Aug. 15, followed by a match against Colorado College at noon on Aug. 18.

Other non-conference opponents include Texas, Wake Forest and Baylor.

The Longhorns were Big 12 Tournament Champions last season and NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 entries. Texas will host the match at 1 p.m. on Aug. 25.

Iowa hosts Wake Forest on Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. and Baylor on Sept. 8 at 1 p.m.

The Big Ten season opens at home against Nebraska on Sept. 12. The Hawkeyes then hit the road against Iowa State on Sept. 15 as part of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series before returning to conference action.

Other home Big Ten contests include Penn State on Sept 26, Indiana on Oct 6 and Wisconsin on Oct. 10.

The College Cup takes place Dec. 6-9 in Cary, North Carolina. The full schedule can be viewed below.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa Athletics Department will hold an end-of-season celebration to honor the NCAA runner-up women’s basketball team on Wednesday, April 10, at 6 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Fans will have the opportunity to hear from P. Sue Beckwith, MD, Head Women’s Basketball Coach Lisa Bluder and Hawkeye student-athletes, including National Player of the Year Caitlin Clark and seniors Molly Davis, Sharon Goodman, Kate Martin and Gabbie Marshall.

The team’s trophies will be on hand at the celebration, along with the Iowa Spirit Squad, Herky and the Iowa Pep Band.

Parking will be available in lots surrounding Carver-Hawkeye Arena beginning at 4:30 p.m. ADA parking as available will be located in Lot 40.

The Hawkeyes advanced to the Final Four for the second straight year and for the third time in program history, finishing the season as the national runner-up. Iowa won its third straight Big Ten Tournament title and finished with a school record 34 victories, which are tied for the most in a single season in Big Ten Conference history.

The Athletics Department requests fans not gather upon the team’s arrival later today.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says while the offense may have changes the philosophy remains the same. New offensive coordinator Tim Lester is installing his offense this spring hope to breathe life into a unit that scored only 20 touchdowns in a 14-game season.

Ferentz says Iowa’s focus on defense and special teams will remain.

Ferentz says Lester has been a good fit for the program.

The Hawkeyes close spring drills with an open practice on April 20th.

Iowa State defensive coordinator Jon Heacock (hay-cock) hopes added experience helps that unit become more consistent next season. Heacock says added depth has also shown up during spring drills.

ISU gave up just over 24 and-a-half points in Big 12 play last season in finishing with a record of 7-6.

Heacock says consistency comes from building habits.

The Cyclones finished third in the Big 12 in defense last season.

Iowa State’s Spring Game is April 20th.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team dropped both halves of a doubleheader with Michigan on Saturday at Duane Banks Field. The Hawkeyes lost game one, 4-3, and game two, 10-6.

“It was a tough day for us,” said Rick Heller. “Game one was a tight one run loss. After we went to the bullpen, the guys did a good job. Jack Young and Anthony Watts and Ganon Archer pitched really well. They gave us a chance to win, and we had so many opportunities to score and just didn’t execute at all offensively. That was something that we hadn’t seen from our ball club all season long, and unfortunately, it bit us in that one. There were just tons of things that we didn’t do well. We didn’t execute to be able to get the runs in, and then we had some bad luck as well.”

Marcus Morgan started the first game for Iowa. He threw 2 2/3 innings allowing three runs on three hits and six walks while striking out five. Ganon Archer allowed one run in two innings of work and struck out five and Anthony Watts struck out six in three innings of work. Jack Young threw the final 1 1/3 innings of the game.

The Hawkeye pitchers combined for 17 strikeouts and 10 walks in game one.

Gable Mitchell was 3-for-3 with three extra base hits (two doubles and a triple) and Raider 2-for-3.

“Then in game two, we got a good start out of Brody Brecht,” said Heller. “But we couldn’t get off the field in the sixth. The guys fought back, and we take a one-run lead in the seventh. They take a one run lead and we’re going to get out of the inning in a one-run game when we lose a ball in the sky. After that we couldn’t stop it. They end up putting five up and go up four runs in the seventh or in the eighth. And we didn’t rally, Denner settled in, and did a good job to finish us off.”

Brody Brecht started game two and went 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs on six hits. He struck out 11 and walked one. Six other pitchers combined to close out the game in relief allowing five runs on seven hits.

Kyle Huckstorf was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI and Blake Guerin had two RBIs.

“It was a disappointing day,” said Heller. “One of those days that you felt like if you’d have played better, you could have won a couple today, but we certainly didn’t.”

Michigan stranded 25 runners on the day to Iowa’s 15, and 11 of Michigan’s 12 RBIs on the day came with two outs.

Iowa returns to action on Wednesday hosting St. Thomas at 4:05 p.m. (CT).

Iowa Associate Head Coach Jan Jensen says the team knew it would be a tough task to beat a talented South Carolina team.

Jensen says she and Coach Bluder realize how much this team has meant to the state of Iowa over the past several months.

Jensen says Clark deserves to be recognized as the greatest of all time.

Senior Gabbie Marshall played almost all 40 minutes, scoring six points and had a team-high three steals. She says Iowa being out rebounded 51-29 and giving up 30 second-chance points hurt the Hawkeyes.

Marshall says South Carolina showed how strong they are as they outscored Iowa 37-0 in points off the bench.

Marshall credits Kate Martin’s leadership for helping the Hawkeyes reach the championship game for a second straight year.

Hannah Stuelke finished with 11 points and says it was tough to battle South Carolina’s talent.

Stuelke says there’s no doubt in her mind – Caitlin Clark is the greatest of all time.

Stuelke says losing the rebounding battle hurt the Hawkeyes.

Sydney Affolter had 12 points and says it was a tough way to end a two-year run that culminated in national runner-up finishes.

Affolter says this team believed they had a chance to make a successful run at the start of the season.

Affolter says South Carolina responded well after Iowa’s 20-9 start to the game.

South Carolina spoiled what the Iowa Hawkeye women were hoping would be a storybook ending. The Gamecocks took control with an 8-0 run late in the third quarter to beat the Hawkeyes 87-75 in the national championship game in Cleveland.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. It was Iowa’s second straight trip to the Final Four and their second straight loss in the title game.

Bluder says South Carolina’s depth was a major factor. The Gamecocks got 37 points from the bench.

Bluder hopes they can maintain the momentum in the program going forward.

South Carolina dominated the glass by out rebounding the Hawkeyes 51-29 and also connected on nine-of-17 from three point range to finish a perfect 38-0.

That’s Iowa star Caitlin Clark who finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and five assists to close out her record breaking career.

Clark is expected to be the top pick in the WNBA Draft on April 15th.

The Hawkeyes finish the season with a record of 34-5.

It is the end of the road for a Hawkeye team that captivated the nation over the last two years with record television ratings and sold out crowds.

Iowa won 65 games during the past two seasons. Senior forward Kate Martin.

Martin says this Iowa team has been a big part in the growth of the women’s game over the past couple of years.
