- 24 Hawkeyes to Watch (2009-10 season)
IOWA CITY, IA – University of Iowa volleyball fans can get personal with their favorite Hawkeyes by checking out hawkeyesports.com’s Summer Spotlight. The 2010 Hawkeyes understand the excitement that accompanies summer vacation – long days, trips to the pool, spending countless hours with friends – so they’re using the official website of the Iowa Hawkeyes to connect with their fans and share a little bit about themselves. Today’s Summer Spotlight is Paige Stevens, a junior civil engineering major from Naperville, IL.

I hope to be remembered in life for… my willingness to push myself at any and every aspect of life.
One day I will… be on the design team for some famous establishment or incredible structure.
