3 HAWKEYES WIN JUNKANOO JAM Iowa won its second holiday tournament in as many weeks as the Hawkeyes defeated Florida (65-62) in the first round and then upset No. 21/23 Oklahoma (54-47) in the championship game to capture the Lucaya Division Junkanoo Jam title in Freeport, Bahamas. Iowa built a 14-point lead with 14:12 left in the game and held on to defeat Florida by three points in the tournament opener. The Gators had an opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer, but Tashia Morehead s 3-point attempt missed. The Hawkeyes used great defense and rebounding to upset No. 21/23 Oklahoma in the championship game. Iowa led by as many as 13 points in the first half and went into halftime with an eight point advantage (30-22). Oklahoma trimmed Iowa s lead to three (41-38) with 8:14 left, but the Hawkeyes made clutch baskets down the stretch to hold off the charging Sooners. Iowa won despite having a higher field goal percentage than free throw percentage. The Hawkeyes shot 41.2 percent (21-51) from the field, while shooting a season-low 37.5 percent (9-24) from the foul line. However, Oklahoma was plagued by poor shooting from the field, converting a dismal 23.9 percent (16-67), including 16.0 percent (4-25) from beyond the arc. Jamie Cavey averaged 15.5 ppg and 5.0 ppg in the two tournament games. Crystal Smith averaged 12.0 ppg and 5.0 rpg, while Krista VandeVenter averaged 6.5 ppg and 8.5 rpg.

Cavey posted a game-high 12 points and pulled down a season-high six rebounds against the Sooners. The Mechanicsville, IA, native scored a team-high 19 points and collected four rebounds vs. the Gators.

Last weekend, VandeVenter pulled down six rebounds vs. Florida and a season-high 11 rebounds against Oklahoma. The freshman has averaged 8.3 boards per game so far this season. The last time an Iowa player led the team in rebounding four consecutive games was Jennie Lillis last season (Illinois, Penn State, Minnesota, Indiana). The Osseo, MN, native has also done a good job offensively. VandeVenter scored all of her season-high nine points in the second half against the Sooners. She also tallied nine points in Iowa s season opener vs. Southern Illinois. VandeVenter averages 6.8 ppg. The post player also ranks third in assists (12), just two back from team-leader point guard Abby Emmert (14).

6 Iowa Signs Five Head Coach Lisa Bluder received National Letters of Intent from Megan Skouby, Lindsey Nyenhuis, Wendy Ausdemore, Nicole VanderPol and Kristi Smith to attend the University of Iowa.

As a junior, she led Mentor High School to a 24-2 record, averaging 17.9 points and pulling down 12.0 rebounds per contest, while shooting 63 percent from the field and 78 percent from the foul line.

Ausdemore earned 2003 first team allstate and all-conference laurels in basketball. She was named the Southwest Iowa Volleyball Player of the Year, earned second team all-state and first team all-conference accolades in Ausdemore was named the 2004 AAU 17-and under Outstanding Amateur Athlete.

She was named first team all-state by the Des Moines Register, the Iowa Newspaper Association and North Central District. This is the second time Bluder has put together a five-player recruiting class.

CENTER OF ATTENTION For the first time under Coach Bluder, Iowa will start its season with a returning starting center. Since Bluder began coaching the Hawkeyes in 2000 Iowa has had a different center to start the season. Randi Peterson was Iowa s starter in , followed by Beatrice Bullock ( ), Tracy Schrupp ( ) and Jamie Cavey ( ). Peterson, Bullock and Schrupp were all seniors. Cavey becomes Iowa s first center to start consecutive seasons since Amy Herrig ( ). HOME GROWN HAWKEYES Iowa s roster features five players from the state of Iowa (Jamie Cavey, Abby Emmert, Ebone Pope, Tiffany Reedy and Stacy Schlapkohl). The Hawkeyes also have four players from the state of Illinois (Lindsay Richards, Johanna Solverson, Jeneé Graham and Morgan Kasperek). Iowa s 12-person roster also features players from Missouri (Jenna Armstrong), Minnesota (Krista VandeVenter) and Louisiana (Crystal Smith). IOWA FASTBREAKS Iowa has controlled the opening tip in its first four games. The Hawkeyes wore their new gold jerseys in their season-opening win over Southern Illinois. The 195 combined points scored in last year s Iowa State double overtime win was the most scored in the series history. Furthermore, the 101 points scored by the Cyclones was the first time a team eclipsed the century mark in the series history. The Hawkeyes victory over No. 21/23 Oklahoma marked Iowa s first win over a ranked opponent on a neutral floor since dropping Minnesota (80-77) on March 3, 2003 in the Big Ten Tournament. Iowa had official Bryan Enterline for its first four games. Enterline was one of three officials to call the NCAA Championship (Connecticut vs. Tennessee) last year in New Orleans, LA. Enterline s daughter, Leah, is a sophomore on the Indiana Hoosiers. Johanna Solverson is three rebounds shy of 300 for her career.
