The Iowa women's soccer team's magical postseason run will live to fight another day.

The Hawkeyes (7-8-1) followed up their Big Ten championship with a 1-0 victory Tuesday over Campbell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, thanks to an early goal from Sara Wheaton off a corner kick.

Iowa advances to Friday's second round where No. 3 seed UCLA awaits. The Bruins (12-1-2) moved on to the second round after a first-round bye. The teams clash at 2 p.m. CT on Friday in Buies Creek, North Carolina.

Both teams enter the matchup on a hot streak. The Bruins' last loss came March 26 against Arizona State; since then, UCLA has picked up four wins and a draw, all against Pac-12 foes. Iowa has stepped up its performance after a 2-8-1 regular season, winning five in a row since the start of postseason play.

Here's how you can follow along as the Hawkeyes take on UCLA.
