Iowa throttles No. 17 Maryland 71-55

Sports

February 9th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Aaron White scored 17 points, Adam Woodbury matched a career high with 16 and Iowa throttled 17th-ranked Maryland 71-55 on Sunday. Peter Jok also matched a career high with 15 points for the Hawkeyes (15-8, 6-4 Big Ten). They opened the game on a 22-3 run and handed the Terrapins their third straight road loss — all by double digits.

The Terrapins (19-5, 7-4) scored just 17 points on 6-of-25 shooting in the first half as Iowa raced out to a 23-point lead. Maryland got within 15 before a technical foul on coach Mark Turgeon with 10 minutes left slowed much of its momentum. Melo Trimble had 20 points to lead Maryland, which was outrebounded 30-19.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Samantha Logic scored a career-high 30 points, including 13 in the game-breaking run, as No. 16 Iowa raced to an 87-75 win over Wisconsin on Sunday. The Hawkeyes (19-4, 10-2 Big Ten), leading 42-38 at halftime, opened the second half with a 19-2 run — with seven straight points from Logic. Then she had a 3-pointer and a three-point play before Whitney Jennings capped the run to make it 59-40. Bethany Doolittle and Ally Disterhoft combined for 35 points, 28 in the first half, for Iowa.

Melissa Dixon, who entered leading the nation in 3-pointers (86) and treys per game (3.91), did not attempt a shot in the first half and was held to two free throws, finishing 0 of 3 behind the arc. Tessa Cichy had a career-high 20 points for the Badgers (8-14, 4-8). Logic, a native of Racine, Wisconsin, had double-doubles in her three previous trips to her home state.

Program provides political training to women in Iowa

News

February 8th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — With the election of Sen. Joni Ernst last year, the state of Iowa finally shed its status for having never selected a female governor or member of Congress. But advocates say there is still plenty of work to do to get more women involved in politics.

On Friday the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University will kick off its fifth “Ready to Run” campaign training for women. The program, which will be held over three days between February and April, includes seminars on how to organize a campaign, raise money and deal with the media.

Dianne Bystrom, the center’s director, said women in the state need encouragement to enter the political arena.
