AMES, Iowa – Due to the severe weather forecasted for Tuesday, April 16, the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series matchup between Iowa State and Iowa has been postponed with the hopes of finding a date later this month that is workable for both teams.

Iowa State will now be back in action this Thursday, when it heads to Utah for a four-game road trip. ISU’s first action will come on Thursday, April 18, when it faces off with the BYU Cougars for a three-game series. The Cyclones round out the trip this Sunday facing Utah Valley in Orem.

NEW YORK – University of Iowa graduate student Kate Martin was selected by the Las Vegas Aces with 18th overall pick in the 2nd round of the WNBA Draft. Martin joins teammate Caitlin Clark in the 2024 draft class as the fifth Hawkeye to be drafted into the WNBA since 2019, following Kathleen Doyle, Megan Gustafson, Monika Czinano, and Clark.

19 Hawkeyes have been drafted or signed in the WNBA since the league originated in 1997. This marks the first time since 1998 that two Hawkeyes have been drafted in the same year.

The Edwardsville, Illinois, native stands as the first Iowa women’s basketball player to have amassed 900+ points, 500+ rebounds, 400+ assists, 120+ steals, and 60+ blocks in a career and is the third player in school history behind Clark and Sam Logic to net 1,200+ points, 700+ rebounds, and 450+ assists. Martin scored 10+ points in 30 games this season, 15+ points in 17 games, while averaging 13.1 points per game in her senior campaign.

Martin was named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale USBWA National Player of the Year Watchlist and to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s 21st class of “So You Want To Be A Coach” program in her final season.

“I’m so proud of Kate because her dreams came true. She has been such a big part of our program over the last six years. Her efforts did not go unnoticed by her peers. I wish Kate all the success with this next step!”

As expected former Iowa star Caitlin Clark was the first pick in the WNBA Draft.

The announcement on ESPN’s coverage of the draft. Clark is a two-time national player of the year and is college basketball’s all-time leading scorer and third all-time in assists.

Clark feels her passing will be her biggest strength in the WNBA.

Clark led the Hawkeyes to back-to-back appearances in the national title game and shared a moment with Hawkeye coach Lisa Bluder after being selected by the Fever.

Clark joins a young but talented Fever team that is anxious to regain its winning ways. Indiana has not made the WNBA playoffs since 2016.

Clark has spent the past year balancing endorsement opportunities, school and basketball and feels that has prepared her for the next level.

The only significant injury occured to redshirt sophomore linebacker Carson Willich (will-ik). The native of Blue Springs, Missouri appeared in all 13 games last season and suffered an ACL injury early in spring.

Campbell says Willich will miss next season.
