IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Hawkeyes (14-5) will travel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to face Duke on November 14 at 1:30 p.m. in the Sweet 16. The game will be played at Karen Shelton Stadium and streamed on ESPN+.

“We are so excited for the postseason,” said head coach Lisa Cellucci. “This group has grown through every challenge and they have earned the right to still be playing. To reach our 29th NCAA Sweet Sixteen is incredibly meaningful, to our team, our athletic department, our alumni, and everyone who’s poured into this program. We are grateful, we are locked in, and we are ready for more.”

Iowa will also be in a pod with No. 1 national seed North Carolina and Duke. St. Joseph and Drexel meet on November 12 for a chance to move on to face the Tar Heels. The two winners will play on November 16 for a spot in the Final Four.

The Sweet 16 appearance is the seventh for the Hawkeyes under Cellucci. Iowa’s 29 appearances are the most of any school as a member of the Big Ten Conference.

Duke is 12-7 overall and finished 4-4 in ACC play in 2025. The Blue Devils advanced to the semifinal game of the ACC Tournament before falling to North Carolina, 5-2.

It will be the 10th meeting all-time between Iowa and Duke (Duke leads the series 6-3). The teams last met in the 2019 Sweet 16 with Iowa winning 3-2.
