Iowa soccer made history on Friday, besting Georgetown 1-0 to reach the Sweet Sixteen. Unfortunately, the magical season came to an end on Sunday when the Hawkeyes fell 1-0 to Virginia Tech. Sunday's loss stings most because Iowa had the best chances of the game and were only inches from turning a 1-0 loss into a 2-1 or even 3-1 win. The Hawkeyes matched Virginia Tech's physicality and generated chances through well-placed through balls and combination passing.
Still, it shouldn't negate what was an incredible season for this group of Hawkeyes and extraordinary careers for the most accomplished senior class in program history. Head coach Dave Dianni and these seniors put this program on the map, and the Hawkeyes are motivated to make this year the standard, rather than the exception.
Elsewhere, Iowa women's wrestling put on a clinic at the Missouri Valley Open, and Hawkeye swimming and diving posted multiple top-10 marks in school history, including a new school record.
