Fans, media react to Iowa women’s basketball’s 78-40 rout vs. UNI

After suffering their first loss of the season against then-No. 2 UConn on Nov. 8, No. 13 Iowa women’s basketball (3-1) got back on track with a dominant 78-40 win over Northern Iowa Panthers (1-2) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Thursday night.

Against the Panthers, the Hawkeyes were led offensively by Dani Carnegie’s 22 points on 9 for 13 shooting, along with Ava Heiden’s 15 and McKenna Woliczko’s 14 points rounding out the double-digit scorers. Notably, Carnegie’s buzzer-beating layup at the end of the second quarter allowed the third-year guard to reach and now surpass 1,000 career points.

Continuing the impressive start to her freshman season at Iowa, Woliczko came just one rebound shy of her first career double-double with a team-leading nine rebounds. Jocelyn Faison also registered her first career made 3-pointer, as she finished with 7 points on 3 for 6 shooting.
