University of Iowa lacrosse players can seek debt relief if they are unable to pay back student loans and college grants. Also, if University of Iowa lacrosse players are in need of buying lacrosse equipment, they can utilize credit cards to accumulate rewards that can be redeemed for other collegiate merchandise.
Hawkeye Lacrosse equipment can be heavy and cumbersome, so it is important to contact Des Moines Moving Companies when having equipment delivered to Des Moines for lacrosse competitions.

| 8th Annual Iowa Lacrosse Alumni Game Announced |
Monday, May 24, 2010
The 8th Annual Iowa Lacrosse Alumni Game will take place on Friday, September 24, 2010 at the Hawkeye Rec Fields. The basic game plan is lacrosse on Friday night followed by fun downtown. On Saturday, there will be a tailgate/BBQ taking place at one of the player's houses before the Iowa Football team takes on Ball State followed by more fun downtown. The football team will be wearing special 1959 Rose Bowl throwback jerseys.
The current team leads the all-time series 4-3, so the alumni have a chance at tying things up.
All the main details will be figured out this summer, but we wanted to get the date out there now before hotels fill up and football tickets go on sale.
If you have any ideas/thoughts/questions/comments/want to help out with the planning this year, please let me know: benson@mattybproductions.com. Also, there is an official facebook group for the alumni right here.
