Hawkeye State women’s trio ranked

NEW YORK — Three women’s college basketball teams from the state of Iowa were ranked for the first time in 20 years with the entry of Iowa State and Drake.

The University of Iowa (5-1) fell two spots to No. 14, while Iowa State (23) and Drake (24) made their debuts.

The final poll of 1998 had Drake, led by current Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder, at No. 22, the Hawkeyes at No. 23 and Iowa State 24th. Northern Iowa, the only other Division I program in the state, has never been ranked.

Drake was ranked for the final five weeks last season, climbing as high as No. 20. Iowa State entered the Top 25 for the first time since Jan. 27, 2014.
