Lucia Englund Signs with the Hawkeyes

Sports

December 11th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Butler transfer Lucia Englund has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Iowa women’s soccer team, head coach Dave DiIanni announced Thursday.

“Lucia is a two-time All-Big East player who is comfortable playing many positions in the width, both defensively and in the attack,” said DiIanni. “She is efficient and technical with both feet and has the athleticism to create separation in 1-on-1 situations, while being impactful in the final 1/3 areas on the field. Her quick feet and mobility make her a very difficult defender in individual isolations to get beat. We are excited to add a player with her experience.”

Englund will be a senior during the 2026 season after spending her first three years with the Bulldogs. She is the second former Butler player to sign with the Hawkeyes, joining Léa Larouche.

During her junior season, Englund was named to second-team All-Big East, while also garnering CSC Academic All-District honors. The Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, native earned Big East Defensive Player of the Week honors in September after netting the game-winning goal and adding an assist in a victory over Providence. Englund finished with a goal and a pair of assists on the season. She started in all 16 matches while playing the full 90 minutes in seven games in 2025.

In 2024, Englund earned third-team All-Big East honors after tallying three assists in 19 matches. As a freshman, Englund appeared in all 20 matches while starting the final six games of the season. She finished with two goals in 2023.

Englund attended Whitefish Bay High School where she earned All-America, all-state and all-conference honors. She played club ball for North Shore United.

Sports

December 11th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

The 23rd ranked Iowa will face one of the nation’s top quarterbacks when they play Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa on New Years Eve. Vanderbilt signal caller Diego Pavia has thrown for nearly 32 hundred yards and rushed for more than 800 as the 14th ranked Commodores finished the regular season with a record of 10-2. Pavia is a finalist for the Heisman Trophy which will be presented Saturday night.

Ferentz says Pavia and Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski have been good leaders for their team.

The Hawkeyes finished the regular season with a record of 8-4.

Atlantic School Board approves 2026 Trojan Baseball trip to Busch Stadium

Sports

December 11th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

(Atlantic, Iowa) – Members of the Atlantic School Board, during their meeting Wednesday evening, approved on out-of-state trip for the Trojan Baseball Team to Busch Stadium, in St. Louis. The team is expected to travel to the storied stadium June 28th to watch the afternoon game pitting the RedBirds against the Miami Marlins. Afterward, the Trojans will take on Clarinda in a rare opportunity to play at a Major League venue. Atlantic Athletic Director Andy Mitchell said the ball started rolling for the chance to play at Busch Stadium a couple of months ago.

Mitchell said the team was selected by the Cardinals organization to watch the game and participate in the local varsity match-up afterward.

Both the Atlantic and Clarinda School Districts will be responsible for selling 700 tickets each, at $27 apiece. That price includes a ticket to the Major League Game, a hot dog and drink, as well as a ticket to the high school game. The districts would be responsible for making-up the difference for any tickets that don’t sell.

It’s hoped local businesses will be interested in sponsoring the trip. Andy Mitchell said KJAN General Manager Jim Field will reach out to the Cardinals in  January,  to help coordinate the details. KJAN -as you may know – carries St. Louis Cardinals baseball games as part of the Cardinal’s Radio Network.

Mitchell said the kids are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of seeing the game and playing at Busch Stadium.
