All Iowans can be proud of Hawkeye women

I am not a fan of the divisive politics and policies coming out of Washington, D.C. and Des Moines. But, we as Iowans have something we can all be extremely proud of. The Iowa Hawkeye Women's Basketball team.

Lisa Bluder and her staff are dedicated, hardworking and caring professionals. They work every day to make their student athletes better ballplayers and better individuals. The players are smart, articulate, determined and amazing young women. Oh, and did I mention — they play the game of basketball extremely well!

Congratulations to the Iowa Hawkeye Women's Basketball team on earning a berth to the Final Four in Dallas, Texas.

Go Hawks!
