Following a two-loss weekend, the Kent State field hockey team hopes to turn things around as it heads to Iowa City to face the University of Iowa and Stanford University this weekend.

Kent State’s schedule only gets tougher as it look to take on the No. 18 ranked Hawkeyes (2-2) Saturday.

Iowa has already proved to be a top 20 team as they defeated No. 7 seated Wake Forest earlier this season.

The Flashes last saw the Hawkeyes two seasons, ago when it suffered a 6-0 loss.

Stanford, who has the No. 6 spot, has also proved to be a top contender in this year’s top 20 teams as they, beat No. 9-ranked Duke University earlier this season in overtime.

Saturday’s and Sunday’s games both begin at 12:30 p.m.
