Iowa and Drake collided in a women’s basketball showdown on Sunday afternoon at the Knapp Center in Des Moines and the teams took the opportunity to honor Lisa Brinkmeyer. The former Hubbard-Radcliffe star was on the final 6-on-6 state championship team, before moving on to play for now-Iowa coaches Lisa Bluder and Jan Jensen at Drake.

Brinkmeyer was diagnosed with brain cancer in April, and while she didn’t move on to Iowa with her college coach, Drake head coach Allison Pohlman says that few have supported and trailblazed the path for Drake women’s basketball than Brinkmeyer has.

Both staffs wore T-shirts that read “Brink’s Bunch” and the entire Drake roster wore the shirts in pregame warmups and on the bench. Bluder says honoring Brinkmeyer was the least they could do.

The tribute to Brinkmeyer by Iowa and Drake is one of many tributes the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union administrator has seen at the high school and collegiate level this school year.
