The Board of Directors of the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union approved Xtream Arena in Coralville as the new home of the Iowa Girls State Volleyball Tournament beginning in 2022.
“We are excited to bring the State Volleyball Tournament to Xtream Arena and Coralville,” said IGHSAU Executive Director Jean Berger. “Xtream Arena is the premier volleyball venue in Iowa. We look forward to our partnership with the staffs at the Arena and Think Iowa City.”
Xtream Arena opened in September of 2020. The arena has a capacity of 5,100 spectators plus additional floor seating and is connected to the five court 53,000-square foot GreenState Family Fieldhouse that is accessible from the event level. The facility has two high-definition video boards, a 360 degree ribbon board, LED lighting along with 12 suites and a 180 person club suite. The arena is home to the University of Iowa volleyball team as well as the Iowa Heartlanders ECHL hockey team.
“We are incredibly honored by the opportunity to host the IGHSAU Girls State Volleyball Championships,” said Josh Schamberger, President of Think Iowa City + Iowa City Area Sports Commission. “We know that we have very big shoes to fill with the standard that has been set for the past 31 years by Cedar Rapids. We are excited by that challenge and deeply appreciative of the confidence Director Berger and her board have placed in us.”
Xtream Arena is only the second venue the Iowa State Volleyball Tournament will call home since the sport was sanctioned by the IGHSAU in 1973. The Alliant Energy PowerHouse in Cedar Rapids has hosted the state tournament since 1991. Prior to that, the tournament was hosted by various high schools across the state.

NICEVILLE, Florida — The top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team won 18-of-20 matches to sweep Central Michigan and No. 17 Lehigh on Monday during the opening day of competition at the Collegiate Wrestling Duals.
Iowa swept 10 matches against Central Michigan in the opener, scoring bonus points in six bouts. Spencer Lee and Austin DeSanto opened the dual with consecutive technical falls at 125 and 133. Max Murin won by major decision at 149 and Alex Marinelli, Abe Assad and Tony Cassioppi each put six points on the scoreboard.
Marinelli forced a stalling disqualification at 165. Assad registered a pin at 184 and Cassioppi led 5-0 before Matt Stencel withdrew with an injury at 285.
Cassioppi later ended the night with a 3-2 decision against Lehigh’s No. 8 Jordan Wood. The win was one of eight for the Hawkeyes against the Mountain Hawks. Lee again opened things up again with bonus points, scoring a takedown in each period to win by 8-0 major decision against No. 11 Jaret Lane.
DeSanto won again by technical fall, this time by a 20-5 score, and Assad added more bonus points with a 16-5 major decision.
The doubleheader sweep extended Iowa’s dual winning streak to 23 in a row and set up a top five matchup with No. 5 NC State on Tuesday at 5 p.m. (CT).
The Saint Louis versus Drake men’s basketball game scheduled for Wednesday, December 22, 2021 in Las Vegas at South Point Arena has been cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols within the St. Louis men’s basketball program.
Iowa sophomore Keegan Murray was named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Week. Murray scored a career high 35 points in a win by the Hawkeyes over Utah State Saturday. He leads the country in points per game. This is his second weekly honor this year.
UNI junior AJ Green was named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week. Green led the Panthers in scoring in both of their wins last week and has moved into tenth place on the UNI all-time scoring list.
Creighton freshman Ryan Nembhard is the Big East Freshman of the Week. He averaged 10.5 points and six assists in the Bluejays two games last week, including the upset of #9 Villanova.
