Iowa defeated Colorado State (528), Iowa State (518), Rutgers (363), and New Mexico State (348).

“Overall, I was really impressed by our team effort, top to bottom. We have learned so much about our team at this midway point of the season,” Iowa head coach Nathan Mundt said. “We saw the growth between the prelims and the finals that is important to see at this point in the season. It’s really critical to see our team to come together and bond over the expectation to perform and take the next step forward. We have some excellent, all-time caliber performances for our program. This is another step in the right direction and where you want to be at an elite level, not only in our record books but against Big Ten competition and regional competition.”

Iowa posted five additional Iowa top 10 all-time rankings on day three, tallying 15 on the weekend. Freshman Jenna Kerr swam the preliminary 100 free with a time of 50.26, tying the sixth all-time ranking.

Kerr posted Iowa’s tenth all-time 1650 free with a time of 16:46.86. The Hawkeyes then closed out the night with the 400-free relay as sophomore Sabina Kupcova, Kerr, Swalley and Martin combined for a time of 3:20.47 to post the ninth-fastest time in program history.

Over three days, the Hawkeyes combined for 15 of Iowa’s top-10 all-time ranks. Swalley contributed to eight of these rankings between individual and relay events. Martin also registered multiple top-performances, contributing to six.

Iowa freshman diver Simone Beinlich placed third in platform diving with a score of 202.20, while sophomore Geneva Pauly competed in the CAMO International Invitational in Montreal, Canada, placing ninth in the platform dive with a score of 191.35.

“We are super excited for our team going into our Cy-Hawk week, coming up on Friday,” Mundt said. “We’d love to stay focused and be positive for what will be a very competitive meet.”

Dinnebier Drops 30-Piece in Double O.T. loss at Minnesota

Sports

December 2nd, 2023 by Asa Lucas

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Drake women’s basketball (5-3) gave the Golden Gophers of Minnesota (7-1) all they could handle this afternoon. In their second tilt against a Big Ten opponent this season, the Bulldogs took Minnesota to double overtime where the Gophers escaped with a 94-88 result.

“We fought so hard but just came up shy in the points column,” Suzie Glazer Burt head coach Allison Pohlman said. “There were some small moments that we needed to take care of the ball better, but I’m so proud of our team.”

Katie Dinnebier poured in a career-high 30 points to go along with five assists and three steals. In the game, she was bested only by Minnesota’s Braun, who had 33.

The rest of Drake’s starting five also logged double figures including Anna Miller with 17, Grace Berg with 12, Taylor McAulay with 11, and Courtney Becker with 10. Miller and Becker each posted double-doubles with 13 rebounds and 10 rebounds, respectively.

“I think we did everything that we could have done from a tactical standpoint,” Pohlman explained after the game. “We had so many players step up and make big plays. We totally had it…this team gave everything that they have. We had a nice sea of blue in the stands supporting us, and our four kids from Minnesota made their home state proud. We will take what we need out of this and look forward to Friday.”

Drake will return home for their first of two-straight matchups in Des Moines. The Bulldogs are set to host North Dakota State on Friday, Dec. 8 at 11 a.m. for their annual Kids’ Game.
