Hawkeyes Host NCAA 1st and 2nd Rounds

For the first time in over ten years, Carver Hawkeye Arena played host to the 1st and 2nd round games of the Women's NCAA BB tournament. Number 1 seed of the Oklahoma City Regional, Oklahoma played 16 seed Prairie View A&M in the first game and number 8 seed host Iowa played 9 seed Georgia Tech in the second. Oklahoma overcame a sluggish start to advance, but the Hawkeyes could not build off the momentum of the nearly 6,000 fans encouraging the Hawkeyes. Iowa was downed 76-62. Oklahoma and Georgia Tech move on to play Tuesday night at 8:30 on ESPN2.
