DAYTON, Ohio – University of Iowa sophomore Madison Dabagia qualified for the 123rd United States Women’s Amateur on Thursday at Walnut Grove Country Club.
The Fort Wayne, Indiana, native finished in a four-way tie for fifth place after firing a one-over par 73. Dabagia claimed the fifth and final qualifying spot on the fourth hole of a playoff.
Dabagia advances to the U.S. Women’s Amateur, which will be held at the Bel Air Country Club in Los Angeles from Aug. 7-13.
Junior Paula Miranda and incoming freshman Maura Peters also competed in the qualifier. Miranda fired a 74, while Peters carded a 77.
Even Brauns is enjoying his return to Iowa City. The former Iowa City West standout transferred to Iowa after averaging seven points and nearly five and-a-half rebounds as the center at Belmont last season. He looks to help a Hawkeye team that lost its top two scorers from last year’s team that finished 19-14.
Brauns says the chance to return home was one of the factors in his decision.
Brauns is one of two new Hawkeyes who played in the Missouri Valley last season. Ben Krikke (crick-E) led the Valley in scoring at Valparaiso.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa Moon Family head football coach Kirk Ferentz is one of 21 head coaches named to the 2023 Dodd Trophy Preseason Watch List. The announcement was made Thursday by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl, Inc.
The Dodd Trophy, college football’s most coveted national coaching award, celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the gridiron, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity — the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd’s coaching philosophy.
The watch list was created through a selection process by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl, Inc., taking into consideration each program’s graduation rate, commitment to service and charity in the community, projected success for the 2023 season and Academic Progress Rate (APR).
Ferentz is heading into his 25th season as Iowa’s head coach, the longest tenured head coach in college football. Ferentz has coached 13 individual national award winners and 85 NFL Draft selections during his tenure. He became Iowa’s winningest head coach on Sept. 1, 2018, and earned Big Ten win No. 100 with a 41-21 victory at Penn State in 2020.
Ferentz has led the Hawkeyes to a 186-115 overall record, including a 115-83 Big Ten Conference record. Ferentz is tied for third in the Big Ten Conference for league wins and ranks fourth in total victories. Iowa posted an 8-5 mark in 2022, winning the Music City Bowl.
Ferentz has led the Hawkeyes to 20 bowl invitations, including 12 January bowl game appearances. Iowa has won 10 or more games seven times under his direction and has been ranked in the final Top 25 rankings four of the last five seasons.
Ferentz was named the Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 2015. He has been named Big Ten Coach of the Year four times (2002, 2004, 2009, 2015) and was named the Woody Hayes and Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year in 2015, as well.
The 21 coaches joining Ferentz on the preseason list represent Arkansas, Alabama, Baylor, Boise State, Clemson, Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, Tulane, UCF, Utah and Wake Forest.

A change in location for the Iowa Summer Games opening ceremonies Friday night. Normally held in Jack Trice Stadium spokesman Cory Kennedy says the ceremonies will be held just outside of the stadium.
The opening ceremonies at Reiman Plaza will begin with an athlete tailgate.
Kennedy says it will also be a busy weekend of competition in the Ames area.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell did not provide specifics when asked about a gambling investigation and the status of quarterback Hunter Dekkers at Big 12 Football Media Days in Dallas. The school announced in May that more than a dozen Cyclone athletes were being investigated for online sports wagering.
Campbell says they hope to get some clarity soon. ISU has said the allegations involved members of the football and wrestling teams as well as track and field.
The Cyclones are looking to bounce back from a 4-8 record in 2022 and improvement begins with winning the close games. The Cyclones were 1-8 in the Big 12 and six of the losses were by a touchdown or less.
Campbell likes the way his team has approached the challenge.
The Cyclones open September second at home against Northern Iowa.
