The Iowa Hawkeye women are up to eighth in the latest AP top 25. The Hawkeyes are 9-0 in the Big Ten and 18-2 overall after wins over 15th ranked Maryland and 12th rated Ohio State. Freshman Addie Deal stepped in for injured senior Taylor McCabe and led the Hawkeyes with a season high 20 points against the Buckeyes.

That’s Iowa coach Jan Jensen, who says Deal has become more confident as she has gained experience.

With McCabe sidelined, Iowa’s depth will take a hit as they get ready for a trip to the west coast.

Deal says with McCabe out everyone will need to pick up the slack.

Deal was named the Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week. Sophomore center Ava Heiden is the Big Ten Player-of-the-Week. She had 20 points and eight rebounds in the win at Maryland and 18 points and eight boards in Sunday’s victory over the Buckeyes.

Hall of Fame high school baseball coach Dennis Olejniczak (oh-lin-zack) died over the weekend at the age of 86. Darin Svenson reports.

Iowa State has climbed to eighth in the latest AP men’s basketball poll. The Cyclones are 18-2 after a pair of lopsided wins last week and the play of Milan Momcilovic has been a big part of it. In his last three games, the junior forward has averaged 27-and-a-half points and has connected on 18 of 31 from three point range. He feels experience has been a big part of his success.

Momcilovic says his teammates are finding him.

The Cyclones return to action Thursday by hosting Colorado.
