COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — University of Iowa senior Kathleen Doyle has earned a spot on the 2019 U.S. Pan American Games Women’s Basketball Team roster, USA Basketball announced today.
The 12-member team was selected by the USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team Committee. Team members will return to Colorado Springs for training camp July 23-Aug. 5, before competing in the women’s basketball tournament at the 2019 Pan American Games from Aug. 6-10 in Lima, Peru.
Doyle is the first Hawkeye student-athlete to make the U.S. Pan American Team since 1999 (Amy Herrig). She is the fourth Hawkeye to ever make the team (Herrig, Michelle Edwards, Cindy Haugejorde). Lisa Bluder led team USA to a silver medal as the head coach in 2015.
A native of LaGrange Park, Illinois, Doyle was a first team All-Big Ten selection (coaches) this past season. She registered single-season career-highs in points, 3-pointers made, field goals made, and field goal percentage.
Doyle led the Hawkeyes in assists, averaging 5.9 per game – a mark that led the Big Ten and ranked 15th nationally. She also led the team in steals (2.3 per game) and was second in scoring, averaging 12.0 points per contest.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa put women’s volleyball coach Bond Shymansky on paid administrative leave Monday after reporting what its athletic director called serious rules violations to the NCAA. Athletic director Gary Barta said he took those steps after a two-week investigation by an outside law firm into allegations raised by a former athlete. Barta declined to elaborate on the nature of the allegations at a news conference, citing the pending NCAA investigation. But he said they were likely to be considered Level 1 or Level 2 violations, meaning they gave at least a minimal recruiting, competitive or other advantage to the Hawkeyes.
“I won’t talk specifically about what it was, but I am comfortable enough to say that everyone who works in college athletics is very familiar with this line that can’t be crossed,” he said, adding that the violations were not criminal in nature.
Iowa named assistant coach Vicki Brown as the interim head coach. Barta said the 30-day leave upon which Shymansky was placed is consistent with the coach’s contract, which requires a 30-day written notice if the university plans to terminate him for cause. Barta said he planned to decide on the coach’s future with the program soon. Barta hired Shymansky, who previously coached at Marquette, in 2014 to turn around a struggling program. Iowa went 15-16 under Shymansky in 2018, his fifth season in charge of the Hawkeyes. The team won 18 games in 2017, its most since 1994. Shymansky’s contract runs through the 2022 season and pays him a base salary of $215,000.
Barta said Iowa learned of the allegations on May 1 and hired the New York-based Bond, Schoeneck & King law firm to investigate. He said the investigation found that no other Iowa staff members or players were involved in or aware of the violations. Barta, who has long operated under the mantra of “Win, Graduate, Do it Right,” said staff and current and incoming players were informed of the situation Monday and reacted with anger and sadness. “Clearly in this case we have an employee who came up short on the ‘Do it Right’ part,” he said.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Iowa State women’s basketball guard Ashley Joens was named as an alternate for the 2019 USA Women’s U19 World Cup Team. Joens was also an alternate for last year’s U18 Team before being called up and also captaining the team.
Joens was among 30 athletes to receive an invite to the team trials. Trials to select the 12-member team were held May 16-19 at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The U19 World Cup competition takes place July 20-28 in Bangkok, Thailand. Joens will not compete with the team as an alternate, but only if she is called up.
