Probably cold or "spring" weather coming in (just a guess).
1-1 on the day. Sucks to see the win streak come to an end but it had to eventually, I guess. Regroup and come out swinging on Sunday.
Note: Ohio State just dropped 2 to Indiana. I think we can officially conclude that their ranking was purely a factor of their cake walk of a non-conference schedule. They've lost badly to every team with a pulse they've played this year. And today, they got schooled by a bad Indiana team.
Minnesota dropped their conference opener to Northwestern (who isn't bad so far but I wouldn't call them good either) and other than a 1-0 extra innings win over Arizona, have also lost to every team with a pulse they've played. I think the B1G is officially wide open and there for the taking.
aka it's ours for the taking.
Iowa is always tough. They beat us in 2015 in one of the games the last time we played them.
Iowa is not always tough. They've been pretty awful for the last 4 years. Gayle Blevins aint walking through that door. This wasn't a good loss.
Having said that, I'm glad to see that it appears Lou Allan has finally seized a spot in the every day lineup. Great player and lots of good things to come from her. Unfortunately, our pitching staff is just not good enough. Beaubien is a stud that can beat anybody, Schaefer is doing a nice job as a freshman, and Blanco is a senior that will give you some decent innings but in the end won't live up to her recruiting hype (as a pitcher, anyway...she's been great with the bat!). We'll be in the hunt for the B1G championship because the conference is so weak and will have to ride Beaubien as far as she'll take us in the tournament.

6 base runners in th 6th and 7th inning...like all season we just lack offensive firepower and the inability to get timely hits has haunted us all season long..This game was there for the taking
