The No. 4 Iowa Women’s Basketball team had a huge victory over Minnesota on Sunday, February 21st. The Hawkeyes defeated the Golden Gophers 94-71 in a dominant performance.
Leading the way for Iowa was freshman guard Caitlin Clark, who set a Big Ten All-Time Assist record with 14 assists in the game. Clark also added 17 points and seven rebounds in the win. She has been a key contributor for the Hawkeyes all season, and her record-breaking performance was a major factor in the victory.
The rest of the Iowa team also played well, with four other players scoring in double figures. Monika Czinano led the way with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while McKenna Warnock had 19 points and seven rebounds. Gabbie Marshall and Kate Martin also had strong performances, with 14 and 10 points respectively.
The Hawkeyes were able to take control of the game early, leading by as many as 24 points in the first half. They never looked back, as they cruised to a 23-point victory. This was Iowa’s fifth consecutive win, and they are now 20-2 on the season.
The win over Minnesota was a huge statement for the Hawkeyes, and it was made even more impressive by Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking performance. She is quickly becoming one of the best players in the Big Ten, and she is a major reason why Iowa is one of the top teams in the conference.
The Hawkeyes will look to continue their winning ways as they take on Purdue on February 24th. With Caitlin Clark leading the way, Iowa has a great chance to extend their winning streak to six games.
