Iowa Returns to NCAA Tournament • A season that was fi lled with numerous knee injuries did not keep the 2005-06 Iowa Hawkeyes from achieving success. Three starters suffering season-ending ACL injuries and two reserves missing substantial time due to knee injuries only propelled the freshman class to contribute and help lead the Hawkeyes to a fi rst-division fi nish in the Big Ten and receive an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament.

Iowa fi nished the season 17-12 overall and placed fi fth outright in the Big Ten with a 10-6 mark. Playing in its 16th NCAA Tournament, Iowa lost to 20th-ranked BYU (67-62) in the fi rst round in Denver.

The Hawkeyes were led by senior Crystal Smith, who was a consensus all-Big Ten ﬁ rst team selec-tion, and Big Ten Freshman of the Year Megan Skouby. The inside-outside punch of Skouby and Smith ignited the Hawkeye offense, which was tops in the Big Ten.

Iowa has advanced to the postseason all six years under Head Coach Lisa Bluder, including four NCAA Tournament appearances, and has guided the Black and Gold to four ﬁ rst-division ﬁ nishes in the Big Ten.

Iowa History • Iowa has played 908 games since beginning basketball in 1974. Overall, Iowa’s record is 554-354 (.610). That includes a 277-131 (.679) mark in Big Ten games and a 249-61 (.803) record in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Trifecta • Iowa, Ohio State and Florida are the only schools to have played in a January football bowl game and have both its men and women’s basketball teams compete in the NCAA Tournament in 2005-06. Additionally, Iowa, Michigan State and Ohio State are the only Big Ten teams to have both its men and women in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

Underclassmen Step Up • Iowa’s freshman class of Megan Skouby, Kristi Smith, Wendy Aus-demore, Nicole VanderPol and Lindsey Nyenhuis stepped up and accounted for 42.5 percent of Iowa’s offense. Iowa’s sophomore class of Krista VandeVenter, Abby Emmert and Stacy Schlapkohl was re-sponsible for 20.6 percent of Iowa’s offense. Combined, the underclassmen accounted for 63.1 percent of Iowa’s offense, which bodes well for the future.

Hawkeyes Sustain Numerous Knee Injuries • The Hawkeyes had ﬁ ve players suffer knee injuries during the 2005-06 campaign. Below is a timeline of the injuries.

Month ... Player ...Scoring Avg.

June 2005 ... Lindsay Richards (ACL) ...5.4 July 2005 ... Johanna Solverson (ACL) ...10.9 August 2005 ... Jenee Graham (Meniscus) ...0.5 December 2005 ... Stacy Schlapkohl (ACL) ...6.9 January 2006 ... Nicole VanderPol (MCL) ...2.6

Smith Named Region 6 All-American • Senior Crystal Smith was named a Region 6 WBCA All-American. Smith becomes Iowa’s ﬁ rst regional all-American since Cara Consuegra was recognized in 2001.

Trio of Hawkeyes Earn All-Big Ten Honors • Megan Skouby was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year by both the media and coaches. She earned all-freshman team recognition and was selected to the all-Big Ten second team by the media and third team by the coaches. Senior Crystal Smith was a consensus ﬁ rst team selection and was also selected to the all-defensive team. Sophomore Krista VandeVenter earned honorable mention laurels by the media and is a nominee for the Big Ten Sports-manship Award.

Skouby becomes the third Hawkeye to earn Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors, joining Franthea Price (1987) and Tiffany Gooden (1995). The 6-6 center is also the sixth Big Ten post-player to earn the award since 1983 and the ﬁ rst since Ohio State’s Jessica Davenport in 2004.

Smith earned all-Big Ten recognition for the second-straight year after being named to the third team by the coaches last year. VandeVenter also earned conference recognition for the second consecutive year, as the sophomore was was named to the all-freshman team last season.

Gold on the Road • Iowa was forced to wear its gold uniforms in all road games in 2005-06 after it had its black uniforms shrunk at the Odwalla Classic, Nov. 25-26. After the Hawkeyes played nation-ally-ranked Oklahoma on Nov. 25, the San Francisco Athletic Department, who hosted the tournament, accidentally overheated Iowa’s road uniforms while washing the uniforms for the Iowa’s consolation game vs. Rider.

Inside the Numbers

In the Rankings • Iowa ranked ninth in the nation in free throw percentage, 16th in assists, ﬁ eld goal percentage and fewest fouls and 24th in scoring. Megan Skouby ranked 24th nationally in ﬁ eld goal percentage.

Iowa vs. Ranked Teams • Iowa has recorded at least one victory over a ranked opponent in each of the six years under Coach Bluder. Iowa was 2-8 against ranked foes in 2005-06. These are Iowa’s most recent wins vs. nationally ranked opponents:

At Home: 77-71 (OT) over 8th-ranked Purdue, 2/2/06

On the Road: 78-67 over 18th-ranked Michigan State, 2/1/04

Neutral Court: 54-47 over 21st-ranked Oklahoma, 11/27/04

Giant Killers • Iowa recorded two victories over top-ten opponents in 2005-06 (No. 9 Michigan State 75-64 and No. 8 Purdue 77-71, ot). The last time the Hawkeyes recorded two wins against top-ten teams in the same season was Head Coach Lisa Bluder’s fi rst season on the Hawkeye sidelines (2000-01). Iowa picked up two victories over Purdue that year, fi rst when it was ranked fi fth (96-87 at Iowa City) and second when the Boilermakers were ranked seventh (75-70 at Grand Rapids).

Bluder Garners Win No. 300 at Division I Level• After garnering her 300th Division I vic-tory in Iowa’s regular season ﬁ nale vs. Indiana on Feb. 26, Bluder will reach two additional coaching milestones in 2006-07. She will coach in her 700th career game and her 200th on the Iowa sidelines during conference play. The Marion, IA, native has coached in 682 career games (469-213, .688) and 184 contests (113-71, .614) on the Hawkeye sidelines.

Bluder Returns to NCAA Tournament • This year marked Coach Bluder’s eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament. Before mentoring the Hawkeyes, Bluder coached the Drake Bulldogs to four NCAA Tournaments in her 10 seasons on the Drake sidelines. Bluder is 3-8 all-time in NCAA Tournament games, 2-4 with Iowa and 1-4 with Drake. Two of Bluder’s victories came in overtime. In 2001, Iowa bounced Oregon (89-82) in Salt Lake City and in 1995, Drake defeated Mississippi (87-81) in Washington, D.C. Graham Returns to Action • After an injury fi lled season, Jeneé Graham played one of her best games of the year in Iowa’s NCAA fi rst round loss to BYU. Graham played 20 minutes, the most she played in a game since the season opener, and contributed six rebounds, three assists and two points. RPI Ratings • Iowa ranked 55th in fi nal regular season RPI rating released by the NCAA. All 11 regu-lar season Iowa losses came to opponents with an RPI of 100 or better, including four in the top 10. The Hawkeyes were credited with two top-25 victories (Purdue and Michigan State).

Hawkeyes Crack History Books • Iowa made 29 free throws in its regular season ﬁ nale vs. Indiana to establish a new Carver-Hawkeye Arena in a Big Ten game. The 29 free throws also tied the school record previously set against Missouri State on December 5, 1993.

The 2005-06 Iowa Hawkeyes rank second in school annals in single-season free throw percentage (.760), sixth in assists (16.8), seventh in 3-point ﬁ eld goal percentage (.359) and tenth in scoring (72.3). Additionally, Iowa opponents’ 288 free throws made are the second-lowest in school history, second only to 273 converted in 1992-93. Also, Iowa opponents in 2005-06 attempted only 415 foul shots, which rank second behind the 393 attempted in 2004-05.

Hawkeye Fast Breaks • This season marked the ﬁ rst time Iowa has ever placed ﬁ fth in the Big Ten standings.

• Krista VandeVenter started her 62nd game in Iowa’s NCAA Tournament game vs. BYU, becoming the fi rst Hawkeye to start 62 games her fi rst two years. • Krista VandeVenter fi nished the 2005-06 season with 52 fouls, the exact number she totaled in 2004-05.

• Crystal Smith was only one point from netting her 500th point in 2005-06. Smith nearly became only the fourth Hawkeye to collect 500 points in two seasons in a Hawkeye uniform. Michelle Edwards, Lindsey Meder and Cindy Haugejorde are the only Hawkeyes to accomplish the feat.

• Crystal Smith and Ohio State all-American Jessica Davenport were the only Big Ten players to be named to the all-Big Ten defensive team and a consensus ﬁ rst team honoree.

• Iowa, playing in its 16th NCAA Tournament, had the seventh highest number of NCAA Tournament appearances among the teams competing.

• Iowa was one of ﬁ ve Big Ten squads that played in the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes joined, Ohio State, Michigan State, Minnesota and Purdue in the 64-team ﬁ eld. Indiana and Illinois competed in the WNIT. The Big Ten Conference boasted the fourth-most teams in the tournament. The ACC and Big East had the most (7), followed by the SEC (6).

• Eight of Iowa’s 12 losses came to ranked opponents. The four losses to unranked foes came on the road at Louisiana Tech (2ot), Iowa State, Indiana and Penn State. Iowa was 11-3 in home games this season, with its three defeats coming to No. 6 Rutgers, No. 8 Ohio State and No. 12 Minnesota. • Krista VandeVenter ﬁ nished the season with 61 steals, the most ever by a Hawkeye sophomore. The 61 thefts topped Toni Foster’s 56 established in 1990-91.

• Kristi Smith ﬁ nished the season with 82 assists, the most ever for a Hawkeye freshman. Smith bested Necole Tunsil’s 78 set in 1990-91. Smith also ranks fourth in 3-pointers made (22).

• Wendy Ausdemore made 20 triples in 2005-06, which ranks ﬁ fth for a Hawkeye freshman.

• Iowa was out-rebounded in its 12 losses. The Hawkeyes boasted a 14-3 record when holding opponents to 69 points or less and were 15-2 when having a higher ﬁ eld goal percentage than their foes.

• Iowa was 1-4 in games decided by six points or less.

• Hawkeye senior Tiffany Reedy had a higher shooting percentage from 3-point range than inside the arc. Reedy shot 39.6 percent (36-91) from behind the arc and 37.2 percent (35-94) from two-point range.

• Iowa freshman Megan Skouby ranked third in conference scoring, averaging 16.8 points. She is the highest ranking freshman in scoring, since Penn State all-American Kelly Mazzante ranked ﬁ rst in 2000-01, averaging 19.7 points. • Skouby’s 414 points ranks second in Iowa single-season freshman scoring, only two points from matching Lisa Becker’s school freshman record of 416. She also ranks second in freshman single-season blocks (47).

17-Plus • Crystal Smith’s 17.2 scoring average in 2005-06 is Iowa’s highest in six years. Sophomore Lindsey Meder paced the Hawkeyes with a 19.1 scoring average in 1999-00. Smith’s 17.2 scoring average ranks ninth in a single-season at Iowa.

DE-FENSE! • Iowa’s perimeter defense was stellar in 2005-06. The Hawkeyes ranked fi rst in Big Ten 3-point fi eld goal defense (.296). In 2004-05, Iowa ranked 10th in the league in 3-point fi eld goal defense (.361). Another First • Iowa never had a regulation lead in its thrilling 77-71 victory over Purdue on Feb. 2. The Hawkeyes’ fi rst lead came one minute into overtime. It is believed to be the fi rst time in Iowa women’s basketball history that the Hawkeyes won a game without holding the lead in regulation.

Skouby Joins Elite List • Megan Skouby was Iowa’s scoring leader in conference games only, averaging 16.8 points. Only two other freshmen Hawkeyes have ever ﬁ nished the season leading the team in scoring in league games only (Lisa Becker, 1984 and Tiffany Gooden, 1995).

IOWA CAPTAINS

Iowa captains for the 2005-06 season were seniors Morgan

Kasperek, Tiffany Reedy and Crystal Smith.

Lisa Bluder (pronounced BLUE-dir) completed her sixth season as head coach at the University of Iowa and her 22nd season as a college head coach. Bluder, 44, has a career record of 469-213 (.688), including a 113-71 (.614) 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 2005, Iowa fi nished 23-10, starting the year 13-0 and were the last Division I undefeated team standing.

Some could argue that Bluder did her best coaching job in 2005-06. Five players sufferered knee injuries, including three season-ending ACL setbacks to starters. Bluder guided Iowa to an outright ﬁ fth-place Big Ten ﬁ nish and an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament.

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. Dur-ing her tenure at St. Ambrose, Bluder guided the Bees to four straight national tournaments, including two consecutive Final Four appear-ances. 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 (8) and Emma (5) and one son, David (3).

Last Time Out • Iowa’s second half comeback came up short as the Hawkeyes dropped a 67-62 decision to 20th-ranked BYU in the ﬁ rst round of the NCAA Tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The loss dropped Iowa’s ﬁ rst round tournament record to 7-2. Iowa was seeded 10th, while BYU was seeded seventh.

Iowa led 12-9 with 10 minutes left in the ﬁ rst half, but BYU went on a 14-4 run to build a seven-point advantage (23-16) with 6:22 left. The Cougars took a ﬁ ve-point lead (30-25) at the half.

BYU’s lead swelled to 16 (54-38) with 8:33 left in the game and appeared to have the game in hand. However, Iowa mounted a furious comeback, fi rst cutting the defi cit from 16 to seven with a 9-0 run. The Hawkeyes were able score in the paint down the stretch after BYU’s top two post players, Dani Kubik and Lauren Riley, fouled out at the 7:14 and 5:14 mark, respectively. The Hawkeyes ultimately trimmed the defi cit to only three with 30 seconds remaining and had possession. Crystal Smith attempted a diffi cult 3-pointer with two defenders in her face and had the game-tying shot blocked. BYU sank two free throws in the fi nal seconds to seal the win and advanced to play second-seeded Oklahoma in the second round.

Freshman Megan Skouby paced the Hawkeyes with a team-high 19 points and grabbed six rebounds. Senior Crystal Smith contributed 17 points, four assists and two steals, while sophomore Krista VandeVenter added 10 points and a team-high eight rebounds.

Senior Ambrosia Anderson, who was named co-Mountain West Player of the Year, posted game highs in points (20) and rebounds (9). Anderson was the only Cougar to score in double ﬁ gures.

Iowa was only 1-6 (.167) from behind the arc, while BYU was 10-23 (.435) from 3-point range. The 10 triples were a season best for an Iowa op-ponent.

Movin’ On Up • Crystal Smith ranks ﬁ fth in Iowa career steals (213) and 3-pointers made (116) and 14th in scoring (1,193). Krista VandeVenter (489) is tied with Jerica Watson for 16th in career rebounding.

Crystal Smith Nets Career Point No. 1,000 • Crystal Smith be-came the 22nd Iowa player to amass 1,000 career points when the senior netted 26 points vs. No. 8 Ohio State on Jan. 12 to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau. Smith ranks 14th in Hawkeye career scoring (1,193), 1,055 of which came her last 62 games (17.0 ppg). She also ranks ﬁ fth in career triples (116) and steals (213).

Smith averaged 1.1 points per game in 21 games her freshman year, followed by a 3.9 scoring average in 29 contests her sophomore season and 16.8 ppg her junior year. Smith averaged 17.2 points her senior campaign. Smith’s scoring average ranked ﬁ fth in the Big Ten. She led Iowa in scoring 15 times in 2005-06.

Skouby Leads Big Ten Freshmen • Megan Skouby raised her game to a new level since taking over the starting center position for injured soph-omore Stacy Schlapkohl. Skouby, who was the Big Ten freshmen scoring leader, averaged 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.69 blocks in conference play. The 6-6 standout ranked 10th in overall scoring (14.3) in the Big Ten, fourth in blocks (1.62) and ﬁ eld goal percentage (.551). She ranked fourth in conference scoring (16.8) and blocks (1.69) and 16th in rebounding (5.8).

Skouby led Iowa in scoring 11 of the last 19 contests, including eight of the last 13. She posted 20 points or more ﬁ ve times in 2005-06. The native of Mentor, OH, netted double ﬁ gures 16 consecutive games -- a streak that ranks second-best in the Big Ten only behind Wisconsin’s Jolene Anderson. Kristi Smith Matured Into Starting Role • Hawkeye freshman Kristi Smith did a fantastic job directing the Iowa offense since taking over the start-ing role. In Big Ten play, Smith averaged 7.9 points, 3.19 assists and 1.06 steals. Smith dished out a personal-best eight assists at No. 7 Ohio State. She ranked 13th in Big Ten assists.

Cashing in at the Free Throw Line • Freshman Wendy Ausdemore became the ﬁ rst Hawkeye to start the season making her ﬁ rst 19 free throw attempts. She made 38-40 (.950) from the charity stripe in 2005-06 to lead all Big Ten freshmen.

Senior Crystal Smith made her fi rst 18 attempts from the foul line in Iowa’s fi rst three conference contests, including draining all 11 attempts vs. Illinois. Smith’s 11-11 performance tied a school and arena record for free throw percentage in a game. She shot a blistering 91.0 percent (61-67) from the free throw line in conference games, which ranked second in the league. Smith attempted at least one free throw in all but two games in 2005-06. Making the Freebies When They Count • Iowa converted 77.2 percent (129-167) from the foul line in the last fi ve minutes of games.

The Hawkeyes shot a blistering 85.2 percent clip at the free throw line in the ﬁ nal ﬁ ve minutes in conference play. The Hawkeyes converted 75-88 free throw attempts down the stretch.

Big Ten Rankings • Iowa ranked fi rst in 3-point fi eld goal percentage defense (.296), free throw percentage (.760) and scoring offense (72.3), sec-ond in fi eld goal percentage (.456) and assists (16.76) and third in 3-point fi eld goal percentage (.359), assist/turnover ratio (+1.01) and 3-pointers made (4.9).

Senior Crystal Smith ranked third in league steals (2.41), ﬁ fth in scoring (17.2), sixth in free throw percentage (.850), seventh in assist/turnover ratio (1.44), eighth in 3-pointers made (1.72) and 12th in assists (3.38). Freshman Megan Skouby ranked fourth in blocks (1.62) and ﬁ eld goal percentage (.551) and 10th in scoring (14.3). Sophomore Krista VandeVenter ranked third in re-bounding (8.2) and second in defensive rebounds (5.9) and seventh in steals (2.1).

Smith Ranked Fifth in Big Ten in Scoring • Senior Crystal Smith ranked ﬁ fth in Big Ten scor-ing (17.2); Ohio State’s Jessica Davenport (18.7) ranked ﬁ rst, followed by Indiana’s Cyndi Valentin (18.5), Michigan State’s Liz Shimek (17.6) and Wisconsin’s Jolene Anderson (17.3). Smith led Iowa in scoring in 15 of Iowa’s 29 contests.

Smith and Indiana State’s Melanie Boeglin scored an NCAA single-game-high 46 points. Both amassed their scoring totals in double overtime as Smith recorded 46 points at Louisiana Tech, while Boeglin tallied 46 at Drake.

Vandy is Dandy • Sophomore Krista VandeVenter is one of the top all-around threats in the Big Ten. VandeVenter, who has started every game (62) as a Hawkeye, ranked third in Big Ten rebounding (8.2) and seventh in steals (2.1). She led the Hawkeyes in rebounding 21 times in 2005-06. The 6-2 forward recorded three double-doubles (Iowa State, Minnesota and Northwestern) and six in her career.

VandeVenter fouled out of her ﬁ rst career game at Ohio State Feb. 12.

Attendance Rankings • Iowa ranks 25th (3,920) nationally in the women’s basketball attendance rankings. Eight Big Ten teams ranked in the attendance top 25, which is the most among conferences.
