OT: The 2026-27 Iowa Hawkeye athletics season officially kicks off tonight in Iowa City

[TheGreatDivider101]

Iowa loses 1:3. They will play again on Sunday, but that game will count as a non-conference game. The main thing though, Iowa lost to an unranked team at home, badly.

At Iowa we can't have nice things.

Darn, #2 Iowa field hockey is down 0:2 at home vs Indiana early in the 3rd quarter. They will have to pull a second half come back again. Indiana is near the perennial doormat status in the Big Ten.

Indiana is a pretty good team this year. They'll beat a couple more teams and make the Big Ten Tournament.

Will Indiana make the NCAA tournament? Can Iowa make the Sweet Sixteen? Before this weekend people probably thought they were a Final Four team.

Indiana won’t make the NCAA Tournament.

Only 18 teams make the NCAAT, so yes, Iowa will make the Sweet Sixteen.

They’re 7-1, so nothing has is hurt whatsoever. Outside of Northwestern, who hasn’t necessarily been dominant, no one has played lights out in every single game so far.

Iowa is a top 4-5 team for sure.

UPSET ALERT: Hawkeye soccer just scored to go up over the #8 Buckeyes 1-0 just before the half. Hawks dropped out of the rankings going 0-1-3 with their trio of elite players leading Canada to the FIFA U-20 Quarterfinals missing, but they’ve been all over tOSU in Columbus with them back, barely letting the Buckeyes out of their half. Last year’s NCAA D-II Player of the Year, defender Sarah Batchadji, smashed home a corner that fell to her feet.

Didn't end up well. Iowa is still winless in the Big Ten. It's still relatively early in the season, but there is a possibility that they don't qualify for the Big Ten tournament.

#6 Iowa field hockey beat #15 Michigan 2-1 in OT in Ann Arbor. Iowa had the early lead but Michigan scored with 5 or 6 minutes to go to tie the game. In OT Michigan appeared to get a winner, but it was overturned after a review. Two minutes later, Iowa scored off a pinpoint pass from behind the 25-yard line to win it.
