Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CDT

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Board of Regents has approved a tuition increase at each of the states three public universities, starting in the fall. The Press-Citizen reports that the nine-member board voted Thursday to approve an across-the-board $216 tuition hike for students at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa. Increases for out-of-state, graduate and professional students at the University of Iowa will range from $1,078 to $2,578.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — An agreement between the University of Northern Iowa and Drake University Law School will allow students to shave a year off the time it normally takes to earn both a bachelor’s and law degree. The Courier reports that the 3+3 Program will see UNI students earn a bachelor’s degree in three years, then earn a law degree from Drake in the next three years.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — After more than two months without a winner, the Powerball jackpot has grown to $435 million. The jackpot for Saturday night’s drawing would tie for the nation’s 10th largest lottery prize. No one has matched all the balls drawn in the Powerball game since April 1, when a player in Arizona won $60 million. The chance of winning the jackpot is one in 292.2 million.

Votto leads Reds to 5-2 win, 4-game sweep of Cardinals

Sports

June 8th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto had a two-run homer among his four hits, Adam Duvall had three hits off Mike Leake and the Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Thursday to complete a four-game sweep.

The Reds hadn’t swept the Cardinals in four games since 2003 in Cincinnati, during the first season at Great American Ball Park. St. Louis has lost seven in a row overall for the first time since 2013.

Scott Feldman (5-4) limited the Cardinals’ slumping lineup to four singles in seven shutout innings. Matt Carpenter hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Austin Brice. Raisel Iglesias got his 12th save.

The Reds traded Leake (5-5) to the Giants for Duvall in 2015, and the right-hander signed with the Cardinals after that season. Leake has yet to beat his former team, going 0-4 in seven starts with a 4.79 ERA.

Low expectations greet Hawkeye summer workouts

Sports

June 8th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Football team is flying under the radar this summer as the Hawkeyes get ready for a new season. Some of the preview magazines are picking the Hawkeyes to finish fourth in the Big Ten West and much of the doubt surrounds an offense that needs a new quarterback and a thin receiving corps. Junior defensive end Parker Hesse says the low expectations don’t bother them.

As the new players show up for summer workouts Hesse says the focus is on fundamentals and developing team leaders.

Iowa’s hopes on offense hinge on an a veteran offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award as the nation’s top line last season. Senior tack Ike Boettger.

There is not much of an off season anymore for college football players. Senior linebacker Josey Jewell spent some time away between the end of final exams and the start of summer workouts.

The Hawkeyes open next season at home on September 2 against Wyoming.
