The Iowa field-hockey team is down to No. 12 in this week’s rankings.
The Hawkeyes went into last week at No. 10 after losing at home to Northwestern, 3-1, on Oct. 5. The team dropped further after losing at home again to Michigan, 3-1, on Oct. 10.
Rounding out the list for the Big Ten were Maryland (No. 2), Penn State (No. 5), Northwestern (No. 9), Michigan (No. 14), and Indiana (No. 18).
The Black and Gold will return to action Friday, when they take on Michigan State in East Lansing.
