Hawkeyes aiming to return to winning ways out West

IOWA CITY, Iowa– The Hawkeye women are heading out west and are hoping to find a way back to winning. Iowa is on a four-game skid and that hasn’t happened in nine years. Still, Jan Jensen and company remain optimistic and believe that they are on the right path. 

“All of our losses have been very winnable games, which is the frustrating part,” Syd Affolter said. “But we’re going onto Oregon and Washington, and we’re going to battle over there and give it our best shot.”

“It’s a lot of little things,” Hannah Stuelke said. “We’ll have lapses here and there, where we lose focus and miss an assignment. [The problems] are getting smaller, obviously, but we need to limit that as much as possible.”
