IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa sophomore Megan Gustafson has been named to the Big Ten Women’s Basketball Player of the Week Honor Roll, the conference office announced Monday. It is the third weekly honor of Gustafson’s career and her second of the season.

Gustafson, a native of Port Wing, Wisconsin, registered a team-high 20 points and a team-leading seven boards to guide the Hawkeyes to an 83-48 victory over Kent State on Dec. 20. She went 8-for-11 (.727) from the field and added a pair of blocks and two steals in 25 minutes of action.

Through 13 games, Gustafson is averaging 16.6 points and 10.2 rebounds. She has scored in double figures and led Iowa in rebounds in every contest this season.

Gustafson earned Big Ten Player of the Week accolades on Nov. 14. She garnered Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors on Feb. 22, 2016.

TIPTON — This season, I am going to try to regularly post box scores for the four schools that I regularly cover. Box scores allow me to get more names into the paper each week and if you don’t have time to read the paper, an option to get what you need on a game in a short amount of time. I hope you enjoy these box scores and upcoming ones this season - RS.

Daniels, Jr., Sougstad Named Student-Athletes of the Month

 

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa Student-Athlete Academic Services has recognized seniors LeShun Daniels, Jr. and Emma Sougstad as November’s male and female student-athletes of the month. 

               

Voted on by their peers, this honor recognizes student-athletes who have excelled in their sport and in the classroom.

Daniels, a native of Warren, Ohio, helped the 21st-ranked Iowa football team (8-4, 6-3) to a 3-1 record in November, including victories over No. 2 Michigan and 15th-ranked Nebraska.  He ran the ball 79 times for 389 yards and four touchdowns during the four-game stretch.

After rushing for 159 yards and two touchdowns in Iowa’s 28-0 shutout victory over Illinois, which included a 50-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, Daniels was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.  The weekly conference laurel was the first of Daniels’ career. 

A week later, Daniels rushed a career-high 29 times for 158 yards and two touchdowns in Iowa’s rivalry win over Nebraska.  It was his sixth career 100-yard performance and fourth career game of 150 rushing yards and at least two touchdowns, making him the only player in the Ferentz era with four such games.  The third team All-Big Ten performer totaled 1,013 yards on the ground in the regular season, becoming the first Hawkeye to surpass 1,000 yards rushing in a single season since 2011.

Daniels is a health and human physiology major, and serves as a member of the Multicultural Focus Group Student-Athlete Advisory Board.

Sougstad, a Forest City, Iowa, native, competed in three November meets for the UI swimming and diving team.  She led the Hawkeyes to dual victories over South Dakota and Missouri State and helped the Hawkeyes to a fifth-place finish at the Ohio State Invitational, notching five first-place finishes along the way.

A preseason All-American, Sougstad endured a career performance at the Ohio State Invitational, a three-day event that included the likes of top-ranked Stanford, 23rd-ranked Kentucky, and tournament host and 24th-ranked Ohio State.

Competing in eight events, Sougstad swam season bests, posting NCAA ‘B’-cut times in all four individual events (200 IM, 100 fly, 100 breast, 200 breast).  She was Iowa’s top finisher in all four events.

Sougstad swam to a school record in the prelims of the 100 fly (53.74).  She went on to break that record with a fourth-place finish in the ‘A’ final, touching in a time of 53.30.  Sougstad also swam the second leg of the fastest 200-medley relay in program history (1:39.15) -- she now has nine school records to her name.  Sougstad was also a member of Iowa’s 400-medley relay team that posted the second-fastest time in school history (3:37.91).

Sougstad is double majoring in elementary education and psychology.

KING, JOHNSON NAMED FIRST-TEAM ALL-BIG TEN

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa senior defensive backDesmond King and senior defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson have been named first-team All-Big Ten by vote of league coaches.  The defensive honorees were announced by the Big Ten Conference Tuesday on BTN.  Offensive award winners will be announcedWednesday evening.

King was also named first team by vote of Big Ten media, while Johnson was named second-team by the media.  Junior linebackerJosey Jewell, who led the Big Ten in tackles, was named second-team by both coaches and media.

Hawkeye defensive players who earned honorable mention recognition include sophomore end Parker Hesse, who was tabbed by both groups, senior cornerback Greg Mabin (coaches) and junior tackle Nathan Bazata (media).  

The Big Ten also announced special teams players who were recognized, with King being named as the second-team return specialist by both coaches and media.  Senior punter Ron Coluzziearned third-team honors from both groups.

King, a native of Detroit, earned first-team honors for the second straight year.  He recorded 53 tackles and seven pass break-ups, while also collecting two interceptions.  King has 13 career interceptions to tie for fourth on Iowa’s career list.  He previously was named a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award, Bednarik Award, and Lott IMPACT Trophy.

King has handled the majority of kickoff and punt returns for the past two seasons.  He averaged 9.8 yards on 25 punt returns and 27.2 yards on 25 kickoff returns this season, ranking among Big Ten leaders in both categories.  His career-long 44-yard punt return led to a touchdown in Iowa’s 40-10 win over No. 15 Nebraska.

Johnson earned first-team honors for the first time in his career after earning honorable mention recognition as a junior.  The native of Lombard, Illinois, led Iowa with 7.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss.  His tackle for a safety was a key play for the Hawkeye defense in a 14-13 win over third-ranked Michigan.  Johnson finished the regular season with 54 tackles.

Jewell, a Decorah, Iowa, native, earned second-team recognition for the second straight season.  His 114 tackles tied for the Big Ten lead, and he also led Iowa with eight pass break-ups.  Jewell recorded 10 tackles or more in six of 12 games while leading the team in tackles for the second straight season.

Mabin, who missed the final three games of the season because of injury, earned Big Ten recognition for the first time in his career.  He started 33 games throughout his career, including 29 straight.  Mabin is a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who collected 37 tackles, three pass break-ups, and one forced fumble in nine games.

Hesse earned honorable mention honors from both coaches and media after being named to the league’s freshman team a year ago.  He recorded 33 tackles in 11 games, missing the Iowa State game because of injury.  He also had 7.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two pass break-ups, and one forced and one recovered fumble.

Coluzzi made the most of his one season with the Hawkeyes.  The native of Naperville, Illinois, joined the Iowa program as a graduate transfer.  He averaged 41.2 yards per punt, with 13 punts of 50 yards or more.  Coluzzi placed 22 of his 68 punts inside the 20 and had just five touchbacks.  Iowa opponents had just 10 returns in 12 games, with 33 Coluzzi punts resulting in a fair catch.

Senior running back LeShun Daniels, Jr., earned Iowa’s Sportsmanship Award, which honors one player from each conference team. Daniels leads Iowa in rushing (198-1,013) and has scored 10 rushing touchdowns.  He is the first Hawkeye to surpass 1,000 rushing yards in a season since 2011.  The native of Warren, Ohio, has 1,843 career rushing yards.  He is a two-year member of Iowa’s Leadership Group.

TIPTON — Longtime Tipton Tiger girl’s basketball coach Chad Rezac enters his 9th season with one of the most interesting teams he has had in over five years.  The Tigers are preparing to for the River Valley Conference like everyone else this time of year.  The Tigers could have pieces in place and a truckload of potential to get back to their pressure defense, transition offense that helped them to multiple trips to the state tournament and made seating a premium in the Tipton middle school gymnasium.  Rezac, one of the longest tenured coaches in the conference and in school history, has a few things up his sleeve.

This will be a statement year for the Tigers program after having to overcome adversity from last year.  Last season All-State caliber player Alex Wiese was having an All-State season (15.4 ppg, 10.0 rpg) when she went down with a season ending ACL tear with five games left in the regular season.  To that point, the Tigers were 8-9 and had all the momentum.  After, the Tigers had to shuffle their line-up.  One of the finds in the last six games was then freshman guard/forward Amanda Smith.  Smith is back after averaging 6.5 points a game over the final six games.  Smith averaged 3.2 points a game for the season and led the Tigers in scoring in their 55-53 win over Wilton at home.  

Later, in the offseason, Wiese transferred to Iowa City Regina, leaving a longer term hole in the Tigers roster.  Instead of collapsing in team sports, Tipton rallied and had one of the best softball seasons in some time.  Then this fall, the volleyball team had a 25-match win season and were ranked for the second straight season.  Now it is basketball’s turn to show that their program is bigger than one player.

“We have worked on culture on our team.  We all know what happened last season and on paper it looks like a lot of adversity with who is not on this team.  That is over though.  We are working on being together and are rallying around having a good season,” said Tipton coach Chad Rezac.

Back for the Tigers are second leading scorer Emily Hermsen (9.1 ppg) and third leading scorer Jamie Kofron (6.8 ppg).  Both are sophomores.  Also returning are starting guards Zoe Rezac and Kailee Meyer to go with Smith to help the Tigers form a strong core of returning players.

Gone are Wiese and graduated seniors Caitlin Himes (6.5 ppg, 88 rebounds), Alyssa Crock and Sami Pruess.

Rezac said that the strength of of the Tigers team will be its depth in guard play, with the Tigers possibly going six deep at the position.  The Tigers have two upperclassmen guards (Meyer and Rezac) and their leading returning scorer also is a guard (Hermsen).

“Our guard play will be key.  We can put pressure on people on defense and get out and run on offense.  We will play a lot of four guard sets and try to take advantage of our speed and quickness.  We are going to try to be pesky on defense,” he said.

Having Kofron back will be important too.  Kofron, an all-conference volleyball selection this past fall, brings that experience back to a sport where she will play a bigger role this year.  

New faces this year fighting for playing time are juniors Samantha DeMoss, Tiffany Schott and Allie Ryan, sophomores Laken Hermiston and Hunter Humphrey and freshman Kamryn Chapman.

Rezac lists concerns are how quickly his team adjusts to the changes on offense and defense.

“We are putting in a lot of new things on offense and defense.  How well will we do that against teams other than when we practice against ourselves early at least will be a concern,” he said.

The Tigers will not leave Cedar County until their fifth game of the season on Saturday, December 10 at Midland.  Tipton starts the season with three home games (Mid-Prairie, Camanche, West Branch) before traveling to Durant on Friday, December 9 for their first road game.

The Tigers host North Cedar and Wilton before Christmas and will play five of their seven, pre-Christmas games at home.  The Tigers travel to North Cedar for a non-conference game on Saturday, January 21 and host Columbus Junction in early February in their other non-conference game.
