 Iowa opens August 31st at home against Illinois State. Iowa junior forward Hannah Stolke says the Hawkeye women are motivated to exceed expectations next season. The Hawks lost several key players from a team that made it to back-to-back national title games. Stolke is coming off a sophomore season in which she averaged 14 points per game and was named second team all Big Ten. I think absolutely we're going to be underdogs this year and I'm actually really excited for that. I think we'll surprise a lot of people.
