January 24th, 2025 by Christian Adams

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa junior Drake Ayala has been named Big Ten Co-Wrestler of the Week, it was announced Thursday by the league office. Ayala shared the accolade with Nebraska’s Ridge Lovett.

The Fort Dodge, Iowa, native earned the distinction after defeating second-ranked Lucas Byrd, 4-2, on Jan. 17 inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.  Ayala notched a takedown with 40 seconds remaining and with the scored tied at one.  The Hawkeyes won the dual over the ninth-ranked Fighting Illini, 28-6.

It was the third time in his career that Ayala has defeated an opponent ranked in the top three, and the 11th time he has defeated a top 10 opponent.  He is 29-14 against ranked competition in his career.

Ayala improved to 11-1 on the season and 4-1 against ranked opponents.

Ayala is the second Hawkeye to earn Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honors this season as Kyle Parco earned the distinction Jan. 9.

No. 2 Iowa returns to action on Saturday at 1 p.m. (CT), hosting No. 4 Ohio State. The dual will be televised on BTN.

Iowa State women host UCF Saturday

Sports

January 24th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa State women close out the first half of the Big-12 race on Saturday at home against Central Florida. The Cyclones are 5-3 in the league race after a Wednesday night victory over BYU and have won four of their last five.

That’s Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly. UCF is 0-7 in the league race.

Riverside Girls Outlast CAM in Close Win

Sports

January 23rd, 2025 by Christian Adams

The Riverside Bulldogs girls basketball team outlasted the CAM Cougars to pick up a 56-48 win in Anita Thursday night. It was a tight contest in which both teams pressed and were able to cause turnovers. However, it was the start of the halves that ultimately set the Bulldogs apart.

One of the main stories of the game was Riverside’s start to both halves and the Bulldogs got off to a strong start. Riverside hit back-to-back threes from Sophia Taylor and Ryleigh Ewalt to open the game on an 11-0 run. However, CAM responded and went on a 6-0 run while scoring eight of the next ten points. The Cougars continued to battle back throughout the remainder of the first half. Three balls from Maddie Richter and Courtney Follman helped the Cougars take a slim lead. However, Riverside grabbed some momentum back to take a slime 29-25 lead into the half.

The Second half was almost a carbon copy of the first. Riverside grabbed the momentum early in the quarter jumping out to a double-digit lead. Despite this, CAM was never out of the equation. Maddie Richter’s three field goals as a part of her game-leading 11 points contributed while Ada Hansen knocked down a pair of field goals in the second half.  Once again, the Cougars battled back and cut the deficit to as little as a point. However, the bulldogs were able to pull away late. Although Sophia Taylor led Riverside with nine points, 10 other Bulldogs got on the scoresheet with seven of them contributing over five points. Although it wasn’t one of Riveside’s prettiest wins, Coach Jeppesen said it counts all the same.

 

Jeppesen also praised multiple Bulldog’s efforts, including Taylor’s.

The win pushed Riverside to 13-2 on the year, while CAM fell to 6-9. The Cougars remain at home Friday as they take on West Harrison while the Bulldogs return home to face Tri-Center.

Northern Iowa women visit Southern Illinois Friday night

January 23rd, 2025 by Ric Hanson

After dropping a pair of games at home the UNI women open a Missouri Valley Conference road trip Friday night at Southern Illinois. The Panthers are 4-3 in the Valley after home losses to Murray State and Belmont.

That’s Panther coach Tanya Warren who says the Salukis will be a tough match-up despite their 1-5 conference record.

Saluki junior forward Gift Uchenna is averaging nearly 30 points and more than 13 rebounds per game.
