Iowa soccer (14-2-4) advanced to the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 on Friday night, beating Missouri State 2-1 at home. Seniors Meike Ingles and Kenzie Rolling combined to put the Hawks up 1-0 in the first half and Maggie Johnston headed home a goal early in the 2nd half to give Iowa the 2-0 lead in a game the Hawkeyes controlled throughout.

The most talented team the Hawkeyes have ever had now has the opportunity to go further than any Hawkeye soccer team in history. The group is full of experienced players up and down the pitch and has added injected much-needed offensive prowess from newcomers like Berit Parten. They'll face 6th-seeded Georgetown on Friday night with a chance to reach Iowa's first-ever Sweet Sixteen.

Elsewhere, Iowa women's wrestling picked up a pair of dominant victories and Iowa volleyball split a pair of matches last week. You can follow along with all things Iowa Olympic Sports here.
