The Iowa Women’s soccer team came out strong this past Sunday in Iowa City, looking sharp both offensively and defensively. The Hawks battled against Michigan State and temperamental weather conditions to secure a 1-0 victory in double overtime. Although regulation ended in frustration as the Hawkeyes placed 19 shots toward goal with no result, the team rallied and came back to fight for the one goal that would end the game. The game winner started with a foul against Michigan State just 35 yards outside their box. Melanie Pickert, a junior for the Hawkeyes, stepped up to take the free … Continued
It is hard to believe we are already 5 weeks into the NFL Season.

Iowa Women’s soccer earns first loss to No. 15 Michigan in their first game of Conference play.
Iowa City, Iowa – Head coach Mark Dantonio said earlier this week that Michigan State was a better team coming out of a bye week. That certainly proved true as the Spartans earned a hard-fought 26-14 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick Stadium. Iowa’s offense netted just 26 yards on its first five possessions of the game. Going three-and-out four times and the other ending in a Jake Rudock interception. Spartan’s cornerback Darqueze Denard had two picks on the afternoon, including one with 5:09 left in the game that all but ended the Hawkeye’s chances. Michigan … Continued
Iowa’s fate seemed to be sealed after a 25 yard rush from punter Mike Sadler on a fake punt to open the fourth quarter. At that point the Hawkeyes were down 20-14 and any momentum was sucked out of Kinnick Stadium. The play was reminiscent of the fake punt run by Northern Illinois earlier in the season that ended in another loss for the Hawkeyes. According to @hawkeyegamefilm, that fake punt continues now a streak of six straight fake punts succeeding against the Hawkeyes. “I just wanted our players to know that they’re aggressive on the football field and sometimes … Continued
Check out KRUI staffer Brad Pector’s take on WHY? ‘s show at The Mill Wednesday night!
Head coach Lane Kiffin was fired in the early hours of Sunday morning, not long after USC suffered an embarrassing 62-41 loss at the hands of Arizona State Saturday night at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. In the game, the Sun Devils put up a staggering 612 yards of offense, and the Trojans committed four turnovers. The setback proved to be the final straw for Kiffin, as USC officials didn’t even allow the team to return back to campus before issuing the decision, but instead called Kiffin off the team bus following their arrival at LAX and relieved him of … Continued
