Iowa led start-to-ﬁ nish and took an eight-point cushion into intermission. Michigan shaved the Hawkeye advantage to just one (32-31) three minutes into the second half. The Hawkeyes responded with a 17-1 run to take a com-manding 49-32 lead with 11 minutes to play. Smith sparked the Hawkeye run, netting eight of the 17 points.

Michigan was led by reserve Ta’Shia Walker, who scored 10 points. Jes-sica Minnﬁ eld and Krista Phillips each added eight for the visitors.

For the ﬁ rst time in six games, Iowa had a better shooting percentage than its opponent. The Hawkeyes made 39 percent (24-61) of their ﬁ eld goal attempts, while the Wolverines sank 36 percent (19-53). Iowa shot 53 percent (8-15) from 3-point range, including 75 percent (6-8) in the second stanza.

TOPS IN THE NATION

Wendy Ausdemore has ranked ﬁ rst in the nation in 3-point ﬁ eld goal percent-age the last three weeks. The junior has made 52.6 percent (30-57) of her shots behind the arc.

As a team, Iowa ranks eighth in 3-point ﬁ eld goal percentage (.395). IMPROVING DEFENSE

Last season Iowa ranked last in Big Ten scoring defense (71.7) and ﬁ eld goal percentage defense (.447).

Through 12 games this year, Iowa is tops in the conference in scoring defense (54.5) and ﬁ eld goal percentage defense (.348) and third in 3-point ﬁ eld goal percentage defense (.281).

Iowa captains this season are seniors Johanna Solverson and Abby Emmert.

Lisa Bluder (pronounced BLUE-dir) is in her eighth season as head coach at the University of Iowa and her 24th season as a college head coach. Bluder, 44, has a career record of 491-233 (.678), including a 135-91 (.597) record at Iowa, a 187-106 (.638) record in 10 seasons (1990-2000) at Drake and a six-year mark (1984-90) of 169-36 (.824) at St. Ambrose. Bluder is Iowa’s second all-time winningest coach and trails only C. Vivian Stringer. She has guided the Hawkeyes to six post-season

tournaments (4 NCAA, 2 WNIT) and four upper-division ﬁ nishes in the Big Ten Conference.

In her fi rst season with the Hawkeyes, Bluder transformed a struggling program into a 21-game winner. Iowa fi nished second in the Big Ten, won the conference tournament and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Bluder became Iowa’s third coach to be named Big Ten Coach of the Year. She was also honored as the College Coach of the Year by the Women’s Basketball News Service and was named the WBCA District 6 Coach of the Year. Iowa’s 2001-02 squad fi nished fourth in the Big Ten and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. In 2003, Bluder guided the Hawkeyes to its fi rst-ever WNIT appearance. Iowa, which had nine underclassmen on its roster, advanced to the quarterfi nals before falling to Creighton. In 2004-05, Iowa fi nished 23-10, starting the year 13-0 and were the last Division I undefeated team standing. In 2005-06, Bluder mentored a team plagued by injuries to a fi fth-place Big Ten fi nish and an NCAA Tournament berth.

In her 10 years at Drake, Bluder brought great success and tradi-tion to the Bulldog program and established herself as one of the top coaches in the country. She led Drake to fi ve 20-plus win seasons in the last six years, including fi ve post-season appearances. She guided the Bulldogs to eight Missouri Valley Conference Tournament appear-ances, reaching the semifi nals six times and winning the tournament four times. Bluder was also named the Conference Coach of the Year three times as Drake.

Bluder began her coaching career at St. Ambrose, where she coached six successful seasons building the Bees into a NAIA powerhouse. During her tenure at St. Ambrose, Bluder guided the Bees to four straight national tournaments, including two consecutive Final Four appearances. The 1990 St. Ambrose team was ranked No. 1 and Bluder was named the NAIA Converse Coach of the Year.

A graduate of Linn-Mar High School in Marion, IA, Bluder was a three-year starter at Northern Iowa. She graduated from UNI in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing.

Bluder and her husband David have two daughters, Hannah (10) and Emma (7) and one son, David (5).

Head Coach Lisa Bluder

IOWA DOWNS PENN STATE IN BIG TEN OPENER

Iowa improved to 6-2 in Big Ten openers under Coach Bluder with a 67-58 triumph over Penn State Friday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes took advantage of 17 ﬁ rst-half turnovers by the Lady Lions as Iowa built a 10-point (34-24) halftime margin. Senior Johanna Solverson scored 12 of her 16 points in the ﬁ rst 20 minutes.

Penn State got to within three and ﬁ ve points in the second half, but both times Hawkeye point guard Kristi Smith sank crucial jumpshots, including a 3-pointer, to stretch Iowa’s lead. The junior ﬁ nished with a game-high 19 points. Senior forward Krista VandeVenter was two points from recording a double-double (8 points, 12 rebounds). She did have the shot of the night. With the shot clock about to expire, she picked up the loose ball about 25 feet from the hoop and heaved a desperation shot, that found the bottom of the net. Penn State was led by Kamela Gissendanner (17 points, 9 rebounds), Janessa Wolff (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Brianne O’Rourke (14 points).

INJURY UPDATE

Reserve guard Lindsey Nyenhuis is expected to miss two weeks with a stress fracture (left foot). The injury was diagnosed Dec. 19 and she will be in a boot for about two weeks.

DOWNTOWN SUCCESS

Iowa has been very accurate shooting the ball behind the arc this season. The Hawkeyes rank ﬁ rst in the Big Ten, shooting 39.5 percent (64-162) from 3-point range. Three Hawkeyes have combined for 55 of their 64 triples (Wendy Ausdemore, 30; Kristi Smith, 14; Johanna Solverson, 11). Iowa has shot 40 percent or better from 3-point range in six of 12 games this year, including a season-best 62.5 percent (10-16) against Northern Illinois. Last season, Iowa ranked third nationally in 3-point shooting percent-age (.402).

BLUDER APPROACHES MILESTONE

Head Coach Lisa Bluder, the dean of Big Ten coaches, is only nine victories (489) from reaching her 500th career win. Bluder amassed 127 wins at St. Ambrose (1984-1990), 187 victories at Drake (1990-2000) and 135 at Iowa (2000-07).

SHARP-SHOOTER

Junior Wendy Ausdemore doesn’t get to the free throw line very much, only 1.6 attempts in 71 games the last three years, but rarely misses when she toes the line.

Ausdemore has missed only 11 free throws in her career (.903, 102-113). The native of Neola, IA, broke the Iowa single-season free throw percentage (.902, 55-61) and Big Ten-season free throw per-centage (.975, 39-40) records her sophomore campaign.

BIG TEN RANKINGS

Iowa ranks fi rst in three Big Ten statistical caregories: 3-point fi eld goal percentage (.395), fi eld goal percentage defense (.348) and scoring defense (54.5). The Hawkeyes also rank third in free throw percentage (.739), scoring margin (+8.7) and 3-point fi eld goal defense (.281). Individually, Wendy Ausdemore ranks fi rst in 3-point percentage (.526), second in 3-pointers made (2.5) and 18th in scoring (11.6). Kristi Smith ranks sixth in free throw percentage (.848), 13th in assists (3.17) and 17th in scoring (11.7). Megan Skouby ranks eighth in blocks (1.08) and 10th in fi eld goal percentage (.505).

HAWKEYES PEN FIVE TO NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT

Hannah Draxten, Shante Jones, Kelly Krei, Tia Mays and Kamille Wahlin have signed National Letters of Intent to attend the University of Iowa.

“This is a large balanced class that covers every position,” said Head Coach Lisa Bluder.

Draxten, a 6-0 wing player, has been a varsity starter since eighth grade, starting in 104 consecutive games for Fergus Falls High School in Minnesota. She has been the team’s leading scorer all four years. A two-year team captain, Draxten holds the all-time Fergus Falls High School records (boys and girls) for scoring (1,830) and rebounding (755). She has averaged 17.6 points and 7.3 rebounds over her career. Draxten is a two-time Class 3A ﬁ rst team all-state and all-conference honoree.

Wahlin, a native of Crookston, MN, is a 5-8 left-handed point guard who averaged 19.9 points for her Crookston High School basketball team that went 24-3 a year ago. A third-year captain, she boasts career averages of 16.5 ppg, 4.8 apg and 3.0 spg. Wahlin established school records in scoring, assists, steals and fi eld goals. Her team fi nished second in the Minnesota state tournament her sophomore cam-paign, where she was recognized on the all-tournament squad. She was tabbed Minnesota Coaches Association All-State and was her team’s MVP the last two seasons. Wahlin sank 47 consecutive free throws last year. Wahlin played on the same AAU team (North Tartan Larson) as Draxten last summer. Krei, a native of Iowa City, has averaged 17.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.1 assists the last three years for City High. A two-time captain, she was a fi rst team all-state honoree her freshman and junior years and was a second team selection as a sophomore. Krei is a three-time fi rst team all-conference, all-district and all-area honoree. The 6-2 forward was named the 2007 Mississippi Valley Conference Player of the Year in basketball and track.

Mays, a native of Des Moines, is a four-year starter for Des Moines East High School. She was a pre-season Street & Smith’s honorable mention all-American in 2006. Last season as a junior, she was an all-state, all-conference and all-district performer. A second-year captain, she helped lead her team to a school-best 19-5 record and a berth to the Girls State Tournament. A 6-1 forward, she led the Lady Scarlets in points (15 ppg), rebounds (10 rpg), blocks (4 bpg) and fi eld goal percentage (63%). Jones is a 5-9 guard/forward from Dayton, OH. Jones played her fi rst two years at Stivers School for the Arts and competed for Carroll High School last season. She averaged 17.8 points her junior year and was tabbed fi rst team all-league and second team all-conference, all-district and all-southwest. Jones was named MVP of Carroll High School her junior season. She was selected fi rst team all-league, all-conference and all-district her sophomore campaign. Jones was the highest scorer in the area her sophomore year (28.0 ppg) and named Stivers High School MVP.

PRE-SEASON RANKINGS

Iowa has been picked to ﬁ nish ﬁ fth in the Big Ten by a selected media panel and seventh by the league coaches. Ohio State, a team that has won outright or shared the last three regular season conference titles, is picked to win its fourth straight. Wisconsin senior Jolene Anderson was selected as the pre-season Player of the Year by both voting groups.

HAWKEYES RETURN THREE ALL-BIG TEN PERFORMERS

Iowa returns third team all-Big Ten performers Wendy Ausdemore and Kristi Smith and honorable mention honoree Megan Skouby from a year ago. All three juniors averaged double digits to lead the Hawkeyes. Smith averaged a team-best 13.4 points, followed by Skouby (13.2) and Ausdemore (12.7).

Iowa will honor and celebrate the 1992-93 team that posted a 27-4 overall re-cord, captured ﬁrst place in the Big Ten with a 16-2 mark and advanced to the Final Four in Atlanta. The team will be recognized at halftime of the February 17th game vs. Minnesota.

REACHING DOUBLE FIGURES

SOLVERSON RETURNS FOR SIXTH SEASON

Johanna Solverson has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA after missing the last two seasons due to consecutive ACL tears in her right knee. The 6-2 small forward played in all but one game her ﬁrst three sea-sons. One of Iowa’s most versatile players, she boasts a career average of 8.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 106 games.

Solverson becomes only the second Iowa women’s basketball player to receive a sixth year from the NCAA. Simone Edwards (1993-97) received a sixth year after suffering two season-ending knee injuries. Edwards played two full seasons and a partial third with the Hawkeyes after transferring to Iowa from Seminole Junior College.
