The 10th ranked Iowa Hawkeye women host 12th North Carolina State tonight (Thursday night), in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. It continues a demanding part of the schedule for the Hawkeyes who are coming off a loss to third ranked UConn.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. The Hawkeyes are 5-2. The Wolfpack are 6-1 with the lone loss coming to UConn.

Bluder says rebounding will be a key to the outcome.
