(Radio Iowa) – Drake University women’s basketball coach Allison Pohlman, announced the final addition to her coaching staff as former Drake standout Becca Hittner will serve as the program’s graduate assistant.

The addition of Hittner completes Pohlman’s coaching staff. Assistant coach Nicci Hays Fort and director of basketball operations Cortni Rush remained on staff along with the hires of assistant coaches Kayla Karius and Whitney Moia.

Becca Hittner

Hittner, an Urbandale, Iowa native, returns to her alma mater after playing one season of professional basketball in Spain’s LF Endesa. She is one of the most decorated Drake women’s basketball student-athletes on the basketball court and in the classroom. Hittner was a two-time honorable mention all-American, a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in the classroom, three-time MVC Jackie Stiles Player of the Year award winner and her name is found all over the Drake and MVC record books, including points, three-pointers made, three-point percentage and scoring average.

“Becca has lived Drake women’s basketball as a student-athlete, a top performer in the MVC and most recently playing professionally overseas,” Pohlman said. “It’s a great feeling to bring her back and know she will be great for our student-athletes as part of our staff. She is among one of the best to wear a Drake uniform and to have her insight, success and experience to reflect upon as our graduate assistant is really exciting!”

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz believes additional compensation for college players is a positive development, even though he is not sure how the changes will effect the Hawkeye program. The U.S. Supreme Court handed athletes a victory by overturning a NCAA rule limiting education-related compensation for college players. Name, image and likeness legislation has already been approved in several states which allows athletes to make money off their name.

Ferentz says there have been positive changes for players in recent years.

Ferentz says the changes are coming quickly and it will force programs to adjust.

Wednesday’s Scores

Vanderbilt 6, Stanford 5- Vanderbilt got a walk off run in unusual fashion. Stanford pitcher Brendan Beck sailed a wild pitch high to the backstop, allowing Spencer Jones to score from third and end the Cardinal season. Enrique Bradfield Jr. had just drove in the tying run in the bottom of the 9th after the Commodores played from behind all night. Stanford had a 4-0 advantage early in the game but did leave a total of 11 runners stranded, including bases-loaded leaves in the fourth and eighth. The reigning National Champion Commodores survive to face NC State in the Semifinals on Friday.
