Some fight with their backs up against the wall, but Iowa falls to Tucson, 4-3

DES MOINES, Iowa - If Iowa was going to be making the postseason this year, it was going to take a hell of a streak, but instead Iowa continues the streak in the wrong direction - dropping their eighth straight in the loss to the Tucson Roadrunners (Arizona). It was a hell of an effort by the guys, but - almost literally - a last second miscue provided the dagger for the club.

Steve Michalek (11-6-6; 3.14 GAA/.907 SV%) got the nod from Derek Lalonde in the second half of the back-to-back. The former member of the Harvard Crimson stopped 23 of 27 shots in the loss.
