IOWA CITY, Iowa -- When Bond Shymansky was hired as head volleyball coach at the University of Iowa on Jan. 31, 2014, he wanted his program to become the No. 1 choice among in-state talent while building an NCAA Tournament resume.
The Hawkeyes took a step toward accomplishing both goals by winning the championship of the Comfort Suites Challenge on Sept. 11-12 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa went 3-0 on the weekend with wins against Milwaukee (3-0), Iowa State (3-1), and No. 25 Texas A&M (3-1).
It is the first time Iowa has defeated the Cyclones since 1997.
