11.21.2007 | Softball
AMES, Iowa - Games against 2007 national champion Arizona, top-16 NCAA seed Virginia Tech and eight other NCAA Tournament teams highlight the 2008 Iowa State softball schedule as announced by head coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler Wednesday.
“I think our schedule gives us a good oportunity to learn about our team while still challenging ourselves by facing some of the top teams in the nation,” said Gemeinhardt-Cesler. “Facing teams like Arizona and Virginia Tech early will allow us to guage where we are at as a team. The trips to Kansas City to face UMKC and Wichita to play Wichita State will give our players from that area a chance to essentially play at home.”
The Cyclones will open their season on Feb. 9-10 at the Fargodome Tournament in Fargo, N.D. ISU will play four games, two each against the host North Dakota State and Wisconsin-Green Bay. The following weekend, ISU will head south to take part in the Mardi Gras Classic hosted by Louisiana-Monroe from Feb. 15-17 in Monroe, La.

The tournament in Arizona will present a new challenge as the Cyclones open play facing the host Wildcats, who return 2007 Women's College World Series Most Outstanding Player Taryne Mowatt. Mowatt finished her junior campaign with a 42-12 record and a 1.26 ERA while striking out 522 batters. Iowa State will also face NCAA Tournament qualifier Virginia Tech, South Florida, New Mexico State and Illinois-Chicago while in Tucson.
After playing a doubleheader against UMKC in Kansas City, Mo., Iowa State will head to the Shocker Invitational in Wichita, Kan. from Mar. 7-9. The Cyclones will play South Dakota State, UMKC and Wichita State during the three-day tournament.
