The Daily Iowan: Other than Iowa’s field, what’s been your favorite field to play on thus far?
Sofia Bush: Texas was fun. They had drums going on the whole game, and it was super nice. It was also early in the season, and we came out with a tie against a top-ranked team. So I think that just instilled a belief that we are good, and if we believe in each other, we can do anything.
What’s been your favorite moment of the season so far?
I would have to say when we played Ohio State and Maya Hansen scored a goal to tie us up. I think that just shows the perseverance and resilience of this group. It was just really exciting to be there.
What’s your favorite drill to do in practice?
Probably just six-versus-six small-sided scrimmages.
How competitive would you say practices get?
Every day it’s a competition. But I think that only pushes us to do better and get better. And the coaches do encourage it.
Ideal day-off activities?
Oh, sleeping. I am not even kidding. Sleeping.
Go-to coffee order?
Before a game, I like black coffee — plain, nothing in it. But, right now, as a treat, I would have to say Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks.
Say your parents are in town. Where are you going to eat?
If my parents are in town, I would probably have to say St. Burch Tavern. I just really like that place.
Do you have a go-to hype song?
Any Eminem song.
Any music genre you can’t stand?
I am just not a huge fan of Taylor Swift, like all of her pop songs and all of that.
