The Iowa Valley Football team is set for their quarterfinal playoff matchup at home against Audubon. The Tigers enter the game 10-0 without giving up a single point in the postseason. Iowa Valley comes off a 63-0 win over Janesville and Head Coach Casey Krull says his team has played really well as of late.

The Tigers opened up playoff play with a 64-0 win over Moravia. Krull says he has noticed the discipline and how his team pays attention to detail.

The 10-0 Tigers are led by Junior Quarterback Nolan Kriegel who is tied for a state leading 41 rushing touchdowns this season and has thrown for 12 as well. Krull complimented the way he stays poised behind center.

The luxury for the Tigers to have several key pieces around Kriegel has been huge for Iowa Valley.

On the defensive side of the football, The Tigers have four players with at least 39 tackles on the year. Krull knows his unit will have to play very well in order to advance.

The Audubon Wheelers and Iowa Valley Tigers will compete for a spot in the Eight-Man semifinals and a trip to the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls. You can hear all the coverage on KJAN beginning at 6 P.M. Thursday night with kickoff scheduled for 7 P.M. from Marengo.

Iowa raced out to a 17-2 lead at the outset and rolled to a 101-69 win over Robert Morris in Ben McCollum’s debut as Hawkeye coach.

The Hawkeyes had 21 assists and shot just under 62 percent for the game.

Bennett Stirtz led the Hawkeyes with 19 points and added six assists.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says it is unclear when tight end Ben Brahmer might be able to return to the field. Brahmer was carted off the field in Saturday’s 24-19 loss to Arizona State and was later discharged after a brief stay in the hospital.

Campbell went to the hospital after the game to visit Brahmer and his family.

The Cyclones take a four game losing streak to TCU this week and Campbell says he is proud of the way his team continues to battle through adversity.

Campbell says a number of young players forced into the lineup due to injuries are making progress.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says his sole focus this week is getting the Hawkeyes ready to play their best. Iowa hosts sixth ranked Oregon on Saturday and both teams are 4-1 in the Big Ten.

Ferentz says a key against teams like Oregon is limiting mistakes and making some plays that are not routine.

Ferentz says the opportunity to host a highly ranked team is always thrilling.

Ferentz says Oregon’s success is a combination of talent and outstanding coaching.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Four University of Iowa women’s soccer student-athletes earned All-Big Ten postseason recognition, the Big Ten Conference announced Tuesday.

Juniors Sofia Bush (MF) and Millie Greer (D) were both named Second Team All-Big Ten. Bush earned third team honors last season after being named to the All-Freshman Team in 2023. The Marion, Iowa native has started 18 games this season, registering a team-high six assists and adding one goal.

Greer earned second-team honors for the second straight year. The Scottsdale, Ariz., native has started all 19 games for the Hawkeyes, leading the team with 1,647 minutes played. She has scored three goals while anchoring an Iowa defense that has allowed just 1.11 goals per game and posted nine shutouts.

Freshmen Liana Tarasco (MF) and Elle Wildman (MF) were named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Tarasco has started all 19 games, tallying four goals and two assists. Her 10 points rank second on the team. Wildman has contributed four assists and one goal, with her four assists ranking second among the Hawkeyes. Both were also recognized on the Top Drawer Soccer Midseason Top 100 Freshmen list. It marks just the third time in program history that multiple Hawkeyes have been named to the All-Freshman Team in the same season. 

Graduate student Taylor Kane (GK) was named Iowa’s Sportsmanship Award honoree. Kane has appeared in eight games, posting five shutouts and a .795 save percentage. The Santa Barbara, California, native was named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week earlier this season.
