It’s the annual homecoming game for the CAM Cougars as they host a familiar foe in the Exira-EHK Spartans. The Cougars come off a come from behind 54-46 win against Glidden-Ralston and Head Coach Nick Kauffman says playing a lot cleaner and complex in the second half was crucial.

CAM threw for a season-high 206 yards in the win last week. Kauffman says Sophomore Zach Kauffman is maturing week by week in the quarterback role.

In the backfield, Senior Collin Bower has run for 357 yards and ten touchdowns including a five-touchdown game against Bedford a few weeks ago.

Bower alongside Junior Kason Calhoun lead the defense with both players recording over 30 tackles in 2025. Kalhoun comes into week with 45 tackles and 38 of those are solo.

The Cougars know they have to be ready for Exira-EHK’s diverse playbook.

Kauffman says the key to victory for his team is limiting mistakes and playing their style of football. You can catch all the action on KJAN with pregame coverage at 6:30 pm. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 pm.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa forward Hannah Stuelke was named First Team Preseason All-Big Ten by the coaches and media, the conference announced on Thursday.

The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native returns as Iowa’s top scorer and rebounder for her senior season, averaging 12.7 ppg and 7.7 rpg. Stuelke started 32 games in 2024-25 and was named Second Team All-Big Ten in back-to-back seasons. In her freshman season, she was named the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year.

Stuelke is 1-of-20 Hawkeyes all-time to have amassed 1,100+ points and 600+ rebounds in their career.

Fans are invited to attend “Hawkeye Hoops from Downtown presented by HyVee” on Friday, Oct. 17, at the outdoor basketball court behind Burge Residence Hall beginning at 5:30 p.m. (CT). Attendees will have the opportunity to get their first look at the 2025-26 Hawkeye men’s and women’s basketball teams. It is the unofficial tipoff to the upcoming season.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa student-athletes Dionne van Aalsum (field hockey) and Kaden Wetjen (football) were named September’s Student-Athletes of the Month, the Iowa Student-Athlete Advisory Committee announced on Thursday.

Van Aalsum, a junior from Castricum, Netherlands, scored 13 goals and recorded two assists during the month of September. She leads the nation with 16 goals and averages 2.0 goals per game. During the team’s undefeated month, van Aalsum scored three game-winning goals. She was efficient with a .333 shooting percentage, while holding a shots-on-goal percentage of .667. Van Aalsum scored on two of her three penalty stroke attempts in September.

Wetjen, a senior from Williamsburg, Iowa, was twice named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week in September. He leads the team with 536 all-purpose yards through five games. Wetjen ranks first in the nation in combined kick return yardage (465), first in punt return average (31.5) and second in kick return average (35.5).

In Iowa’s win over UMass, Wetjen amassed a career-high 216 return yards (182 punt and 34 kickoff) and a career-high 236 all-purpose yards with two touchdowns. The 182 punt return yards are the fourth-most in a single game in Big Ten history. Wetjen’s 95-yard punt return touchdown against UMass made history, tying a Big Ten and Iowa record. It was the longest punt return in Kinnick Stadium history. His 20-yard touchdown run on a reverse against the Minutemen was his first career rushing touchdown and makes Wetjen what is believed to be the first player in Iowa history to have a rushing, receiving, punt return and kickoff return score in his career.

In the win at Rutgers, Wetjen had a game-best 183 all-purpose yards, including tying an Iowa record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff. The 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown is the sixth in school history and the second of Wetjen’s career. He is the second Hawkeye to return an opening kickoff for a touchdown (C.J. Jones vs. USC in the 2003 Orange Bowl).

AMES, Iowa – Two University of Iowa women’s tennis student-athletes — sophomore Sally Xu and freshman Eline Bex — will complete at the Cyclone Invitational on Friday through Sunday at the Iowa State Tennis Facility.

The duo will compete in a round-robin format, with Xu and Bex competing in both singles and doubles matches throughout the weekend against opponents from Arkansas, Iowa State, Kansas State and Minnesota.

The Hawkeyes will begin competition on Friday at 10 a.m. (CT).

Singles
Sally Xu (IOWA) vs. Diana Smolinska (KSU)
Eline Bex (IOWA) vs. Margaret Jaraczewski (KSU)

Doubles
Sally Xu/Eline Bex (IOWA) vs. Diana Smolinska/Margaret Jaraczewski (KSU)
Sally Xu/Eline Bex (IOWA) vs. Valeska San Martin Ramirez/Gabriela Felix (ISU)

Iowa State center Jim Bonifas says ever week in the Big 12 will be a challenge. The 14th ranked Cyclones take a 5-0 record on the road to Cincinnati.

Bonifas says the Cincinnati defense is much improved from last season.

Bonifas says the Bearcats are especially tough at home.

Iowa State safety Ta’Shawn James believes depth will help the 14th ranked Cyclones overcome key injuries the secondary as they get ready to visit Cincinnati. Starting corners Jeremiah Cooper and Jontez Williams are both lost for the season with knee injuries.

James believes the newcomers will step up.

The concern this week for the Cyclone defense is Cincinnati dual threat quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

James says facing a talented quarterback is nothing new in the Big 12.

Drake could regain the services of starting quarterback Chase Spellman when the Bulldogs open the Pioneer League Football race at home on Saturday against Valparaiso. Spellman suffered an upper body injury in a season opening win over Upper Iowa but missed road losses at second ranked South Dakota State and number 21 South Dakota. With Spellman sidelined, true freshman Logan Inagawa filled in a passed for 304 yards while rushing for 131.

That’s Drake coach Joe Woodley. The Bulldogs will be in search of a third straight PFL title this season.

Woodley says Inagawa’s ability to run made the ground game more effective against the two Missouri Valley teams.

Woodley says the formula for another title run will be the same. During the past two seasons the Bulldogs have won 10 games decided by 10 points or less.

Valparaiso opens conference play with a record of 1-3.

Off to a 5-0 start and with their highest national ranking since 2016 William Penn faces a major test on Saturday when the 20th ranked Statesmen host top ranked and defending NAIA champion Grand View. Third year William Penn coach Marc Benavidez says added experience is a big part of their turnaround.

And that experienced has showed up with the game on the line. The Statesmen dominated the fourth quarter in a 24-13 win at 16th ranked Baker and followed that up with a 34-31 win over 12th ranked MidAmerica Nazarene.

The challenge this week is a big one. Grand View enters riding a 64-game regular season winning streak and Benavidez says the Vikings consistently dominate the line of scrimmage and limit mistakes.

Benavidez feels it is a good time for a challenge like this.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa women’s basketball 2025-26 season tickets are sold out for the third consecutive season, the announcement was made by the Iowa athletics department on Wednesday.

Details regarding the UI student ticket program, and limited single-game ticket availability for select games, will be made available at a later date.

The Hawkeyes hold the longest streak in the nation with 35 consecutive home sellouts. Iowa has also been ranked top 10 nationally in attendance for the past six seasons.

Iowa welcomes five newcomers in total, three true freshmen (Addie Deal, Layla Hays and Journey Houston) and two sophomore transfers (Emely Rodriguez and Chit-Chat Wright).

Fans are invited to attend “Hawkeye Hoops from Downtown presented by HyVee” on Friday, Oct. 17, at the outdoor basketball court behind Burge Residence Hall beginning at 5:30 p.m. (CT). Attendees will have the opportunity to get their first look at the 2025-26 Hawkeye men’s and women’s basketball teams. It is the unofficial tipoff to the upcoming season.

Last season, the Hawkeyes earned two wins in the Big Ten Tournament and beat Murray State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Iowa also secured its ninth straight 20-win season, the second-longest streak in program history. In her first year as head coach Jan Jensen added to the milestone by recording the second-most wins by a first-year head coach in program history.
