Hawk women fall to Iowa State

It was too many turnovers, too many missed layups and too much home cooking as the Cyclones knocked off the Hawkeyes Thursday at Hilton Coliseum, 83-70.
Eighteen turnovers, including 13 in the first half, plus Samantha Logic getting an elbow in the forehead which started bleeding and took her out with less than seven minutes left in the first half.
Iowa State was leading 24-13 at the time and increased that to 41-28 at half.
Samantha came back and played the whole second half and led the Hawks with 18 points and seven rebounds.

SHUTDOWN

UI wrestlers blank Buffalo 46-0

The Hawkeye wrestlers took every match last week at Carver-Hawkeye Arena against Buffalo, winning 46-0. That included two pins, six majors and two technical falls.
“That’s how it should be,” said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. “It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. You may not get a shutout every time, but you strive for it. We still have weights where we have to be ready to go the entire match.”
That should be a good warm-up for top-ranked Penn State this Saturday at Carver.

Solon escaped with a 63-62 overtime win, but only after overcoming a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter.
“It was an exciting game,” said head coach Brad Randall. “It was good to come away with a win.”

Defense, 18 steals lead to second win of the season

SOLON– Defense was the key.
The Lady Spartans picked up their second win of the season over the weekend with a 50-37 victory over Mid-Prairie, part of a girls/boys doubleheader Saturday in Solon.
The Lady Spartans turned up the heat on Mid-Prairie, coming away with 18 steals and some transition opportunities.
“Our game plan against Mid-Prairie was to pressure their guards,” said Solon head coach Tony Nicol. “I thought Rylee Smith did a tremendous job of frustrating Mid Prairie’s point guard.”
