@SASHASCHMID ON RETURNING HOME
“We have a young and exciting team that has been through many tough situations, especially during this middle stretch, and they have matured through those moments. There is no substitute for match pressure situations and we have gained invaluable experiences since mid-February. As a coach, I am proud of the progress and am looking forward to watching them compete strong during this final stretch of the season.”
TAKING ON THE BOILERMAKERS
Friday’s match is the 51st all-time meeting between the Hawkeyes and the Boilermakers. The series is tied, 25-25. Purdue won the last meeting, 6-1, in 2018.
TAKING ON THE HOOSIERS
Sunday’s match is the 47th all-time meeting between Iowa and Indiana. Indiana leads the all-time series, 35-11. Indiana won the last meeting, 4-3, in 2018. The Hawkeyes defeated the Hoosiers in 2017, Schmid’s first season as head coach, 6-1.
HAWKEYE HOME STRETCH
Iowa is at home for its next five Big Ten matches. The Hawkeyes completed a seven-game road trip, going 1-6, and faced three nationally ranked opponents (Kansas State, Michigan, & Ohio State). Iowa, 12th in the Big Ten, is looking to bounce back and pick up a pair of key conference wins heading into the season’s final stretch.
