Iowa (7-8, 1-3) continues their Big Ten season this weekend as they host Michigan (11-3, 4-0) on Friday night and then Michigan State (11-3, 2-2) on Sunday. The match against Michigan will be their annual Dig Pink match in support of breast cancer. If you can make either match, they would love to see you at Carver.
We're playing for more than ourselves. Help us bring awareness this Friday inside Carver at 7 p.m.
