Spring Hawkeye Athletics are Underway

Basketball and hockey season are over and the wrestling team has brought the national championship back to where it belongs, in Iowa City. So that's it for University of Iowa sports in the 2007-2008 school year right? Don't even think about it.

For many Hawkeye athletes the 2008 season is just getting underway. The tennis, baseball and softball teams have been going at it for a few weeks now, but with spring break over with, and spring weather finally arriving, action will really start to pick up for the outdoor events. This will also include men and women's track and field.

These sports may not have all the flair of football and basketball, but there is one thing that sets them apart that happens to be very beneficial to all UI students: free admission!

That's right, just present your University ID at the gate and you can watch a Hawkeye sporting event for free. General admission to most of these sporting events is only $3 and $2 for children. Here's a look in the next few weeks of the upcoming home schedule for Hawkeye athletics:

Baseball-
4/2 vs. Illinois State

4/4-4/6 vs. Purdue (doubleheader on 4/5)

4/8 vs. Nebraska

Men's Tennis-
4/5 vs. Minnesota

4/6 vs. Michigan State

Women's Tennis-
