Winners of three of their last four the Iowa Hawkeyes are at home tonight (Thursday night) against Purdue. Iowa is 4-4 in the Big Ten and must answer the physical challenge the Boilers offer in the paint.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says the Hawkeyes want to push the tempo.

Iowa’s defense and rebounding has improved in recent weeks and McCaffery says that needs to continue.

Iowa leading scorer Keegan Murray missed the first meeting against Purdue with an ankle injury. It was a 77-70 Hawkeye loss in Mackey Arena back on December third.

Strong defensive pressure leads Atlantic girls to win over Shenandoah

Sports

January 26th, 2022 by admin

Atlantic used a combination of full-court pressure and extended zone defense to force Shenandoah into 22 turnovers and grab a 49-37 win in girls hoops on Tuesday. The Trojans jumped out to a 20-11 lead by the end of the first and held that advantage around 10 points most of the rest of the way.

Freshman Paytn Harter helped the Trojans get out in front early with 14 first quarter points. Harter finished with just one more point on the night, but Jada Jensen got rolling in final three periods and scored 20 points to lead all scorers. A number of Jensen’s points came off of steals and layups on the other end. Shenandoah tried to throw different defensive looks to get the ball away from Jensen and Aubrey Guyer stepped up to do a great job bringing the ball up most of the game. Atlantic Coach Dan Vargason was happy with how the team adjusted.

Coach Vargason liked the shared production the team had on the night.

Madison Huddleson added 7 points in the win and the Trojans improved to 7-9 on the season and earned the season sweep over the Fillies.

Shenandoah was led by 8 points from Macey Finlay and they fall to 9-7 on the season.

Next up for Atlantic is a road trip to Council Bluffs to face St. Albert on Friday night. We’ll have coverage of that game on KJAN.
