​Force Complete Inaugural Regular Season

The Iowa Force Women’s Basketball Team has completed their first regular season in the WBCBL with a 3-6 overall record. The Force had wins against the Missouri Arch Angels, Kansas City Majestics and a forfeit victory over the Arch Angels. The Force were in the midst of a four game losing streak before earning their 3rd win of the season due to forfeit from the Missouri Arch Angels.

The Force suffered a hard-fought loss to the defending Regional Champion St. Louis Surge 78-66, a 92-82 loss to the Nebraska Strikers and an 84-79 loss to the Kansas City Majestics. This string of challenging games began with a high-scoring 104-91 loss to the Flyers Elite Team. Despite the losses, the Force were within single digits in the 4th quarter in each game. At the previous two home games, the Force held a food donation for the Boys and Girls Club of Iowa. Food items were brought to the games and for each person who brought a food item, $1 was taken off of their ticket price. The Force also had a pink out and a fan appreciation day at their home game on Sunday, July 10th. Pink Force shirts were on sale and Iowa Cubs tickets, shirts, Iowa State hats and an autographed Iowa Force basketball were given away. The Force also collected donations for Breast Cancer Research.
