A record-tying second quarter helped lift the UNI Panthers women’s basketball team to a win over the North Dakota State Bison on Tuesday evening 79-70.

UNI had a 30-point second quarter, matching a program record for most points in a quarter, to propel them to victory. The Panthers had 36 points in the paint and got a big lift from the bench with 27 points.

Grace Boffeli led the team in points with 17 and grabbed eight rebounds. Cam Finley was the only other Panther in double-figures with 12.

The Panthers get over a week of rest before their next game against the No. 16 Iowa Hawkeyes. UNI will travel to Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City on Sunday, Dec. 18 for a midday matchup with Iowa. The 2 p.m. matchup is set to be broadcast on Big Ten Plus.

LAS VEGAS — University of Iowa senior linebacker Jack Campbell was awarded the 2022 William V. Campbell Trophy. The presentation was made during the 64th National Football Foundation Annual Award Dinner, presented by Las Vegas, at the Bellagio Resort and Casino. 

The Campbell Trophy is the premier scholar-athlete award that annually recognizes an individual as the absolute best in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership. As the 33rd recipient, Campbell will receive a $25,000 postgraduate scholarship. 

“This is a very deserving honor for Jack,” said Moon Family head coach Kirk Ferentz. “Jack is the ultimate teammate and a highly respected leader in our program. His athletic and academic success is the direct result of his strong work ethic. Jack is an outstanding representative of our football program, the University of Iowa, his family, and the Cedar Falls community.” 

Campbell, a native of Cedar Falls, Iowa, was earlier named the Nagurski-Wooden Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and the Butkus-Fitzgerald Big Ten Linebacker of the Year. He is one of five finalists for the Butkus Award, which is awarded to the best linebacker in the nation. He was named a semifinalist for the Bednarik and Rotary Lombardi awards. 

Campbell (6-foot-5, 246-pounds) has led Iowa’s defense all season. He has totaled 118 tackles, which are second in the Big Ten and tied for 13th nationally. He also recorded two interceptions, one recovered fumble and one forced fumble, along with 3.5 tackles for loss. He has 295 career tackles to rank 19th in program history. 

Campbell, who will earn his degree in December, carries a 3.49 grade point average with a major in enterprise leadership and a minor in sport and recreation management. He earned Big Ten Distinguished Scholar recognition in 2021, has earned Dean’s List honors three semesters and is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. He has been a member of Iowa’s Player Leadership Council for three years. 

Iowa (7-5, 5-4) will face Kentucky in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 31 in Nashville (11 a.m. CT, ESPN). The Hawkeyes earned their 20th bowl invite over the past 24 seasons under Ferentz. 

VERMILLION, S.D. –Drake women’s basketball earned their fifth win of the 2022-23 season with an 83-54 blowout win on the road at South Dakota. The Bulldogs improved to 5-2 and continued their streak of scoring 80+ points in each game this year.

Megan Meyer, the game’s leading scorer with 16 points, scored the first five of the game with a triple and a driving layup. Grace Berg broke Meyer’s hot start with a lefty hook shot of her own. South Dakota eventually made two-straight threes to start their scoring efforts.

Katie Dinnebier dished out four assists in the first quarter on her way to a game-high six assists. Four Bulldogs netted double-digit points led by Megan Meyer’s 16. Maggie followed with 14 points and was just one rebounds away from her 10th career double-double, and second of the year, with nine boards. Grace Berg added a dozen points while Katie Dinnebier chipped in with 11.

Drake will remain on the road for their next matchup when they visit 18th-ranked Creighton on Saturday, Dec. 10. This weekend’s tilt with the Bluejays will be Drake’s third contest against a ranked opponent this season.

Iowa was no match for 15th ranked Duke at the Jimmy V Classic in New York City.

Gary Dolphin on the Hawkeye Network. Iowa was dreadful on offense. The Hawkeyes shot only 39 percent, including three of 16 from three point range in a 74-62 loss

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Freshman guard Dasonte Bowen came off the bench to score 12 points and Patrick McCaffery also had 12 as the Hawkeyes fall to 6-2.

Duke’s defense bottled up the Hawkeyes and held Kris Murray to eight points.

The Hawkeyes host 20th ranked Iowa State Thursday night.

UNI fell behind by 12 in the opening half and lost at home to Toledo 83-75. Bowen Born scored 27 points as the Panthers drop to 3-5 on the season.

Toledo shot better than 51 percent for the game and Born says the panthers gave up too many easy baskets in the first half.

A top 25 women’s Cy-Hawk clash takes place in Iowa City Wednesday night when 10th ranked Iowa State visits number 16 Iowa. This could have been a top ten match-up but the Hawks have stumbled out of the gate. Ranked fourth in the preseason, Iowa is 6-3.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder who does not feel their confidence has been hurt by the early losses as part of a tough schedule.

Junior guard Caitlin Clark says this game is a great showcase for the state of Iowa.

Iowa State’s 77-70 win in Ames last year snapped the Hawkeyes five game win streak in the series but nearly all of the recent games have been close.

That’s Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly who says for his team success begins on defense.

It will be the final game in Carver-Hawkeye Arena for Cyclone star Ashley Joens, who is a native of Iowa City.

Drake is off to a 7-1 start and consistent play from center Darnell Brodie has been a major factor. The Seton Hall transfer is averaging over seven points and nearly seven rebounds while playing about 24 minutes per game. All of those numbers are up over last year and he even had five assists in Saturday’s win over Illinois-Chicago.

That’s Drake coach Darien DeVries who says Brodie’s improved play allows them to run sets through him at times.

Brodie says after last season he went to work to prepare his mind and body for his final season.

The Bulldogs host Omaha tonight (Wednesday night).

In the midst of conference expansion and expanded league schedules Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger hopes there is still a place for the series with Iowa. The 20th ranked Cyclones visit the Hawkeyes on Thursday night. It will be the 76th meeting in a series that had been played every season since 1970.

Otzelberger has been involved in several in-state series during his career and has always enjoyed them.
