This Sunday night dual marks Minnesota’s first Big Ten matchup of the season, while Iowa opened conference play last week against Ohio State.
Minnesota remains undefeated, earning a 196.325 to defeat Penn State in Week 3. The Gophers have been especially strong on floor, with senior Mya Hooten anchoring last week’s lineup with a 9.925, taking the event title. However, a shaky bars rotation provides an area for improvement heading into this meet.
Iowa posted a 195.200 in Week 3, but a series of beam mistakes kept them from challenging Ohio State. With a strong beam lineup capable of big scores, consistency will be key for the Hawkeyes tonight. Freshman standout Aurelie Tran impressed with a solid 39.350 in the all-around last week, making her one to watch in this matchup.
