After a weekend that saw the Hawkeye soccer team grab a 1-0 win over Indiana Oct. 17 and a 3-1 victory over Purdue two days later, Iowa remains fifth in both the Big Ten standings and the Great Lakes poll.
Senior Cloe Lacasse was honored for the second time in two days for her performance over the weekend. College Sports Madness named her the Big Ten Player of the Week to go along with Monday’s Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award.
The Hawks now sit at 11-4-1 on the season, 6-3-1 in the Big Ten.
They also remain at No. 68 in the latest RPI Rankings.
The rest of the conference is well represented in the poll — Penn State (14-2) reclaimed the No. 1 spot over now-No. 2 Rutgers (11-2-1). Wisconsin (13-2-1) sat at No. 3, followed by Michigan (10-5-1) at No. 4. Illinois (9-6-1) and Michigan State (10-6-1) came in in at No. 7 and No. 8.
Iowa will be back in action Friday, when it takes on Ohio State in Columbus.
