Iowa State coach Matt Campbell used the terms resilient and courageous to describe his team. The Cyclones are 2-3 after a 50-20 loss at Oklahoma and will be at home this week to play TCU.

Campbell feels the Cyclones still have a lot of potential.

Iowa State’s run game perked up at Oklahoma with 150 yards. Campbell wants to see that progress continue.

The Cyclone defense has given up too many big plays and Campbell says a better pass rush is part of the solution.

Campbell says they need to generate pressure without blitzing too much.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa women’s soccer team captains Samantha Cary and Macy Enneking were named conference players of the week on Tuesday.

Cary was recognized as Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the third time this season, while Enneking earned her first Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week honors of her career.

The two defensive standouts led Iowa to a pair of clean sheets last week in dominating wins over Purdue, 4-0, and Rutgers, 1-0.

A fifth-year player and second-year captain, Cary anchors the Iowa defense with a team-high 1,039 minutes played this season.

Cary played 175 of 180 total minutes last week, including the full 90 minutes in the shutout against Rutgers. She also notched an assist against the Scarlet Knights, helping fellow captain Maggie Johnston to a goal in the 22^nd minute that put Iowa ahead by two scores.

Cary previously earned back-to-back Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week awards this season on Sept. 5 and Sept. 12.

Enneking is now up to eight credited shutouts, which ties for first nationally. Enneking’s 0.253 goals against average ranks third in the country while her .913 save percentage ranks fourth. She leads Big Ten goalkeepers in each of those statistical areas.

Enneking hauled in three saves to preserve the shutout against Rutgers. The Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week honors are a first for Enneking, who was named Honorable Mention Goalkeeper of the Week by Top Drawer Soccer on Sept. 5 this season.

This is Enneking’s first conference player of the week honor since being named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on March 22, 2021.

Enneking’s 18 career shutouts rank third in program history. She is fifth in the Hawkeye record book with 21 career victories (.706 win percentage).

The Hawkeyes have recorded nine shutouts this season, the most for an Iowa team since the 2019 season. Iowa has allowed just three goals all year, ranking second nationally in goals against average (0.25). Iowa’s .750 shutout percentage ties for fourth nationally through 12 games.

Iowa travels to Nebraska on Saturday at 1 p.m. (CT). The Hawkeyes return to the Iowa Soccer Complex on Oct. 12 for a showdown with Northwestern at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on Big Ten Network.

The fourth ranked team in Eight-Player football the CAM Cougars have been as dominant as they have impressive. The Cougars are 6-0 on the season and no team has come within 20 points of the Cougars. CAM defeated Sidney last Friday night in a 64-6 final score but led 38-0 after the first quarter. The Cougars have outscored their opponents 350-52 on the season and look to continue that dominating display as the season moves forward and the Playoffs approach.  Head Coach Barry Bower knew it would be tough last week without a couple starters on both ends of the ball and made it an emphasis to have the next man up mentality and put some of his young players in the best positions to succeed.

The Cougars have been led offensively all season by junior quarterback Chase Spieker who tallied five touchdowns vs Sidney last week and continues to improve.

Coach Bower said his team’s success comes from one word he uses over and over and described it as the most powerful word in the dictionary.

Coach Bower said his teams main focus is on each and every day trying to get better and improve, you can’t dwell on the past or look forward a few weeks but rather focus on the task in front of them

The fourth ranked CAM Cougars led by head coach Barry Bower welcome in the 3-3 Fremont-Mills Knights this coming Friday. Listen to the full interview with Coach Bower below.
