What an opening night for the Hawkeyes at Duane Banks Field!
Iowa was back at home for its home opener after spending the weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the MLB Desert Invitational.

Iowa's Tuesday afternoon matchup on February 17 is the earliest home game Iowa has had in program history.
Not only was it the earliest game, but also a record-setting game against UW-Platteville.
