Iowa Hawkeyes’ 2023 Soccer. EDIT: Hawkeyes upset B1G Champs and three top 12 teams on way to Big Ten Tourn. Championship! Host Bucknell in NCAAs...
- Thread starter Menace Sockeyes
- Start date
I forgot how much I hate college soccer rules. Thought I was watching NCAA tournament basketball there for a second
Made a 20,000 seat stadium look huge. You just aren't going to draw anyone but friends and family on a cold week night when the host team isn't playing.
FOURTH B1G Championship Game in the last decade, and meeting the Badgers for a third time there! Going for our second tournament title in four years. Can't wait for Sunday! GO HAWKS!
With all the fans on the near side under the camera, the "Let's Go Hawks!" chants were nice and loud as the seconds ticked down.

The two calls he gave to Penn State in the last 10 seconds were such gifts. Stopping play with 9 seconds left for an uncontested drop ball after it deflected off the PSU chin? A dive and gifted free kick with 6 seconds left off that? He handed them two opportunities he shouldn't have. Eff it. Won anyways.
Exciting finish. Iowa deserved the win. Let’s go Hawks!
Yeah, the drop ball I was willing to give a pass on since the girl took a shot to the head but that last free kick was a joke. That was a flop worthy of the premier league.
Did not realize until after that match that Penn State was ranked #5 in the NATION. They're only a B1G 3 seed. Which tells you a lot about the conference's depth in women's soccer now, and why the announcers talked about Iowa's three top 20 wins (MSU away, Miss St away, and PSU neutral) and a top 5 win putting them in as a "probably in" NCAA bubble team.
Noice. In other years, the tie at Virginia would also factor in Iowa’s favor, but the Hoos are down this year.
Run the table, Hawkeyes!!
How is FSU looking at #1? What’s their strength if they’re going to do it? Any Achilles heel?
Can't speak for the Seminoles, but the NY Jets sure found their Achilles heel.....
Coach Brian is much more an offense first guy verses Coach Mark‘s defense first strategy. Time will tell if we can outscore everybody… So far, so good.
The other long term question is whether he can continue the mix of internationals into the squad or not.
One thing that has finally become true is that FSU has eclipsed NC as the top dawg in the ACC. The Heels were longtime dominant in the league as well as nationally.
Hawkeyes host an NCAA Tournament game in Iowa City for the first time in program history. Make all the way up to a 5 seed and host Bucknell. Winner faces the winner of Liberty and the #4 seed (and SEC Tournament Champion) Georgia. We are listed on the bottom half of the bracket here:

Wow! Good for the ladies. In another note, I saw parts of a couple recent games and didn’t see Ingles. She was a budding star a couple of years ago. If memory serves correct she’d be a senior. Figured she’d be one of the top players. Did she get hurt or transfer?
Was the best forward in the B1G when healthy, but unfortunately she’s had season ending injuries the last three seasons.
BTW, ncaa tourney game is Friday night at 6.
Awesome. Best of luck, Hawks.Hawkeyes host an NCAA Tournament game in Iowa City for the first time in program history. Make all the way up to a 5 seed and host Bucknell.

Gotta say I am a bit nervous with both Notre Dame and Pitt in our bracket. It is tough to beat teams multiple times in a year…
Ms. Soccer Minnesota/Twin-Cities Metro Player of the Year, as one of the first two signings Iowa named today, and both are both rated five star attackers. With last year's Ms. Iowa Soccer and All-B1G freshman Sophia Bush in the mix, we might have some more offensive punch for the next few years.

Another soccer commit from Pella is Abby Warner, cousin of George Kittle, Henry Krieger-Coble, and Jess Settles.
BTW, anyone buy their tickets for Friday night yet? (Feels weird to have to buy now).

Is this game going to be televised? If so, where?
We've got our 4 bought. Looking forward to it.
ESPN+ Friday night at 6 PM CT.
We get it through Hulu Live as well. IF we win and SEC Tournament Champs Georgia meet in the second round, there’s a good chance we end up on SEC Net or ESPNU (outside shot at BTN). Hopefully the Hawks take care of business tomorrow.

A few Spring updates (with video):
1) Iowa will play in the Spring Cup for Spring season, which is an invitational involving the elite Midwestern schools. Michigan State won it last year before going on to with the B1G Regular Season Championship. They are in it along with Notre Dame, Northwestern, Mizzou, Louisville, Xavier, SLU, etc. Hawks' group means they have a March 23rd home match in March vs A-10 powerhouse St. Louis, before a road match with Mizzou.
2) Sam Cary was drafted by Racing Louisville of the NWSL, becoming the second Hawkeye in two years to join the league, and the first to be drafted (ION broadcast noted we're officially the 100th school to have a draft pick).
3) Gianna Gourley was signed as an undrafted free agent by Seattle Reign. Looking to start a streak of two years where a new former Hawkeye forward plays in the NWSL. Played first two seasons at Iowa, including an All-B1G Freshman selection and a B1G Tournament title her Sophomore year. Ingles and future NWSL forward Alyssa Walker were going to limit her playing time though, so she transferred to Grand Canyon her final two years:
4) Got a fantastic grad transfer in South Dakota State's all-time goals and points leader, Maya Hansen. Don't know if she'll be on the Spring roster or not. Her highlights show a devastating cutting ability, and across the body finishes on the run:

Also, any peeps near West Lafayette, Indiana: Sam Cary's first public preseason match will be March 9th vs Chicago Red Stars at Purdue.

UPDATE: After a goal in her last preseason match, then a season opening loss, not only is Sam is a regular starter in Sweden’s Damallsvenskan (one of the better leagues in the world) but she’s got them off to their best start ever. They sit in fourth place and one win out of a UEFA W Champions League qualifying position.
