Not entirely sure. Michigan plays Northwestern that weekend as well. Similar to the pod series baseball did last season.Kyle why are they playing Michigan at Northwestern Oct 23?
Massachusetts was decent last year. Otherwise, yes it’s a pretty easy home draw, but they got all the good ones at home last year.The home schedule isn’t too exciting this year. Rutgers and maybe Maryland are the only ones that move the needle.
They might. Hard to know. Iowa is currently the 4th most western field hockey school behind California, Stanford and UC Davis.Think USC and UCLA may start field hockey teams after joining the Big Ten? California has high school field hockey, and both Cal and Stanford have some history. I was surprised that USC and UCLA only have club teams.
Are there any pre-season rankings? Is NW supposed to be good again? I want revenge!!!
They come out the the week of the first gameAre there any pre-season rankings? Is NW supposed to be good again? I want revenge!!!
How is recruiting going for 2023 and 2024 classes?
How did it turn out???Up 2-0 on no.1 Northwestern!! Finish them!!
Sweet revenge!Ended up 2-0 for the Lady Hawks!
Fire Brian!!!!It feels to me this team is a bit challenged on offense. They don't produce a lot of shots.
Iowa tanking at the wrong time.I see Iowa just lost another game in OT, at Penn State this time. All three losses so far this season have been in overtime to a top 5 team. It feels to me this team is a bit challenged on offense. They don't produce a lot of shots.
Is this a recruiting issue? Do we not have enough talent to substitute, so the starters get a breather?Also, why can’t we generate offense?Iowa tanking at the wrong time.
Perhaps they really have been watching the football team's offense for pointers..........
Highly unfortunate that we can't even produce one decent Fall sports team this year.
But it is Iowa, and we're not allowed to keep nice things. We always have to give them back eventually.
From my observation, it’s a couple of things. Not having Ciara Smith since the Indiana game and Olivia Frazier since Maryland is not helping. Forcing them to go further down the bench.Is this a recruiting issue? Do we not have enough talent to substitute, so the starters get a breather?Also, why can’t we generate offense?
Thanks for your response.From my observation, it’s a couple of things. Not having Ciara Smith since the Indiana game and Olivia Frazier since Maryland is not helping. Forcing them to go further down the bench.
Also early in the year they were very good at converting off just a couple of chances. That luck has run out as of late.
The other thing is for some reason the passing/decision making with the ball has sharply dropped off over the last 6 games.
Finally, the one “drawback” of being a very successful program is that most of these players really haven’t had to deal with a rough stretch like this in college field hockey, which could be an issue on its own.
GG RIP 2022 Iowa Field Hockey seasonCiara Smith will not return this season due to an undisclosed reason.
Wouldn’t say that’s the reason things went south. They were 3-1 in the four games after she left the lineup, including a win at Northwestern. The downturn happened later.GG RIP 2022 Iowa Field Hockey season
Talk about the bottom falling out….they went straight downhill. Seems like their first loss did them in for the rest of the year. Last year evidently was their year and they blew it!Stopped by practice today to talk to Coach Cellucci and a couple players. Energy levels aren’t down. Laughing, joking and positivity.
