The Iowa Hawkeye Field Hockey team entered the 2010 season ranked #19. They sit at 1-5 on the season.
It was easy to over look the forst two losses of the season, after all, when you loose to #6 Wake Forest and #1 North Carolina, you can't get too upset. But after losses to Miami (OH) and Kent State, you begin to worry a little.
Now the Hawkeyes need a big confidence boost against Ball State on Saturday before enter Big Ten play against a tenacious #5 Michigan State team. (When Coach Tracy Griesbaum visited the KRUI studio in August, they pointed to MSU as thier biggest field hockey rival.)
The Hawks lead the series with Ball State by an incredible 18-2, and last beat the Cardinals by a score of 6-1 in 2005. All signs say the Hawkeyes should come out on top. But so far nothing has gone as planned for the Iowa Field Hockey team.
The field hockey season flies fast,the Hawks only have four home games left, and then start the Big Ten Tournament on November 4th. It may not seem like it, but a record of 2-5 is miles away from 1-6. No time to waste...
