CEDAR FALLS – The University of Northern Iowa Swimming and Diving welcomes the Iowa State Cyclones to Glen F. Henry Pool on Saturday, October 1 for the team's home opener. The Panthers enter with a 1-0 record after defeating Iowa, while it is the first of the season for Iowa State.
"We typically start out with Big Ten or Big 12 opponents," Head Coach Nick Lakin said. "It's a good test for us and helps identify some areas we need to work on."
Coming off a historic win against the University of Iowa on Friday, the Panthers will lean on sophomore Amber Finke, who notched 22 individual points against the Hawkeyes. On the boards, junior Taylor Hogan enters Saturday after receiving MVC Diver of the Week honors.
After picking up their first collegiate victories in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly respectively, freshman Faith Larsen and Hallory Domnick look to be key contributors again.
The teams have met 34 times previously, with the Panther's only victory coming in 1992. Most recently, Iowa State won in Ames in January 2021. The Cyclones have hosted four of the previous five meetings.
In February, the Cyclones finished third at the Big 12 Conference Championships. Iowa State adds six newcomers from last year's matchup.
"Iowa State is a really strong opponent," Lakin said. "We will move some pieces around that we think will keep everyone developing at the rate we have so far."
The meet will start at 2:00 pm in the Glen F. Henry Pool. Live results are available on Meet Mobile.
