This afternoon they handled Samford to go 8-1 on the season tied with Minnesota for the Big Ten lead. Their only loss was a one-pointer last week to #13 Florida State in a game full of “could of, should of’s”. Junior Megan Gustafson is a monster at center and is already on the Naismith Trophy watch list. Today was her eighth double-double in nine games. They only start one senior, Chase Coly, who is the only senior on the team. So the future is bright. Their pre- BigTen schedule has been reasonably tough too- in their own Hawkeye Classic Tournament (which they won), they were the only team not in last year’s NCAA tournament. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But the emotional test is this Wednesday evening when they take on the Clones in Ames.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Go Hawks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
