HAWKEYE UPDATES

Iowa softball topples DMACC Iowa softball upended DMACC in its first fall game of the Hawkeyes triumph season. DMACC scored a run in the top of the first inning but did not score again against in weird game Doocy dominant pitching performances by sophomore Following an interesting North Texas game, Iowa will have its hands full as the Allison Doocy and senior Ashley Yoways. Big Ten season kicks off. Sophomore outfielder Havyn Monteer recorded a single, followed by an RBI base hit by freshman Aralee Bogar to tie the game at 1. The game stayed tied until the fifth inning, when senior Yoways outfielder Cheyenne Pratt and freshman Ashley Hamilton recorded RBIs to make the score 3-1. In the end, the Hawkeyes topped the Bears, 6-1. “I think for our first outing — we had a lot of newbies on the field — we started out a little slow, and we eventually picked up the speed,” head coach Marla Looper said. Pitching was dominant, and Doocy attacked early, Looper said, providing Hawkeye fans with plenty to be excited about. The freshmen will have a large effect this season, pro- viding speed on the bases and adding a lot to the roster. “I’ve been waiting so long for this moment,” Bogar said. “Just getting to step out onto the field and play for Iowa softball is a big dream that I’ve had, and now I’m living it, so it’s amazing.”
