IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair Gary Barta announced on Thursday that Vicki Brown has been terminated, without cause, as head coach of the UI volleyball program. A national search for a new head coach will begin immediately.

“We appreciate Coach Brown’s five years of service with our volleyball program, especially during a difficult transition prior to the 2019 season and the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Barta. “We wish her the best of luck moving forward.”

Brown was named Iowa’s 10th head coach in program history in September, 2019. She first joined the Hawkeyes in 2017 as associate head coach, followed by three months as the team’s interim head coach. A native of Toledo, Ohio, Brown compiled a 17-56 overall record in two-plus seasons, including winning 10 matches her first season in 2019. Brown played collegiately at the University of Illinois from 2004-07.

Iowa assistant coaches Dave Brown and William Tatge will oversee the volleyball program on an interim basis. Brown, who also serves at the team’s recruiting coordinator, is in his second season with the Hawkeyes after serving as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at Loyola Chicago from 2018-19. Tatge joined the staff in June, 2021, after serving as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech the previous two seasons.

The Hawkeyes have eight matches remaining in the 2021 season.

Braden Wessel returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown with 1:47 left to put Audubon on top of WACO 34-30. A few plays later Manny Beisswenger came up with a game clinching interception to send the Wheelers back to the dome for the second time in three years. Audubon Head Coach Sean Birks said it was a hard fought win.

The Audubon defense had just came up with a big stop to force WACO to punt the ball back before Wessel took it to the house. Coach Birks was elated to see Wessel’s big moment.

Audubon continues a historic run for the program. The Wheelers were Runners-Up in 2019 and fell just short of the semis last year. Coach Birks said he knew this group had a chance to be special when they got to high school.

The Wheelers improved to 10-1 on the season and will get a rematch for the semifinals. Audubon will face the CAM Cougars next Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Our coverage will start at 9:00 a.m. on KJAN.

For the first time in school history the CAM Cougars are headed to the State Football Semifinals. The Cougars made it happen with a dominating 64-13 win over Newell-Fonda in Anita on Thursday night.

The Cougars set the tone from the outset. They forced a Mustangs punt on their opening possession and then three plays later Lane Spieker scampered 66 yards for the first of his 7 touchdown runs in the game to put CAM in front. Newell-Fonda responded with an 8-play drive that ended in paydirt on a Mason Dicks 2 yard run. The Mustangs failed on the 2-point conversion and they wouldn’t get a chance to tie or lead the rest of the way. The Cougars got a 45 yard touchdown run from Cade Ticknor on the next possession to go up 10 at 16-6. CAM went on to score on their next four drives to take a commanding 48-6 lead by half.

CAM Head Coach Barry Bower was overjoyed and emotional after the win.

Lane Spieker piled up 396 yards rushing with 7 touchdowns in the huge win. He was elated for his team and coaching staff after the win.

CAM has been one step away from the dome with quarterfinal losses the past two seasons. Cade Ticknor said they definitely had their sights on getting over the hump.

The Cougars did a phenomenal job of blocking all night long and Ticknor said that’s what they want to hang their hat on.

The Cougars improved to 11-0 on the season and will make the trip to the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls next Wednesday for the 8-Player Semifinals. We’ll have coverage of the Cougars as they match up against another squad from the Nishna Valley, the Audubon Wheelers. Pregame will start at 9:00 a.m. with Kickoff at 10:00 a.m. next Wednesday, November 10th.
