Among the conference’s strongest perfect home cooking McDonald preseason players were senior Cole McDonald, senior Chris Iowa women’s basketball is 12-0 at home this season, and the Hawkeyes aim to remain perfect Whelan, and sophomore Jack Dreyer. tonight with a matchup against Illinois at Carver-Hawkeye. McDonald, who is expected to be Iowa’s Friday night starting pitcher, put up strong numbers a year ago, posting a 3.23 ERA and 52 strikeouts. The right-hander started 11 games and went 3-2. McDonald was even stronger in conference play, posting a 2-0 record with a 3.00 ERA. Whelan is the strongest returning hitter for the Hawkeyes. The infielder hit .308 last season with 48 hits and 4 doubles. His .410 slugging percentage was the third highest on last season’s team. Dreyer was a freshman last season, but he still had the poise of a veteran. The left-hander appeared in 14 games a year ago, posting a season ERA of 3.69. His four starts were even better with a 3-1 record and a 2.95 ERA. The Big Ten also announced the top six places in the coaches’ poll. Minnesota was picked to finish first, and Iowa was not among the schools named. Iowa’s season will kick off this weekend in Kissimmee, Florida.
