The No. 22 Iowa women’s basketball team knocked off No. 5 Indiana Saturday, though the Hoosiers put up quite the fight down the stretch.
The Hawkeyes (17-7, 11-4 Big Ten) won 96-91, surviving Indiana’s 42-point explosion in the final quarter. The 42 points set a new program record for points scored in a single quarter.

But Iowa’s first-half dominance left the Hawkeyes plenty of wiggle room in the second half. Not even a record-setting performance could propel the Hoosiers (19-5, 11-3 Big Ten) to a comeback.
