Lucy Olsen and the Iowa Hawkeyes look to close out the season on a high

After the game against the Bruins, the Iowa Hawkeyes have just two more matchups before wrapping up the regular season. First, the Hawkeyes will travel to Michigan to take on the Wolverines on Feb. 26 before returning to the Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the final game against the Wisconsin Badgers on March 2.

Before the loss to the Buckeyes, Iowa was on an incredible six-game winning streak.

Olsen told the press after the loss:

“Even though we didn’t win, we’ve got to know we can play with all these tough teams. We’ve got to learn from it, but we can’t hang our heads. We’ve had a really good run. We lost one. We feel the losing again, and hopefully, we can end the season with no more of those.”

After the Big Ten Tournament, the Hawkeyes will shift their focus to March Madness. According to the latest bracketology from ESPN's Charlie Creme, Iowa is a No. 9 seed, a drop from the No. 1 spot it occupied last year.
