The Iowa Women’s Basketball team made 13 three-pointers on their way to protecting their home court against the Iowa State Cyclones in an 88-76 win on Wednesday night. The home team has now won the last 10 games in the rivalry series.

Tania Davis led the Hawkeye attack with 23 points that included 7 of 11 shooting and 5 of 6 from three point range.  Davis didn’t miss a three point attempt until 8 minutes left in the game.  Iowa improves to 7-3 on the season with the win.

Iowa State failed to capitalize on their team strength and only hit 6 of 28 from three-point range in the loss. The Cyclones fall to 6-2 on the young season.

Iowa takes an 8-7 lead in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series with the men’s hoops teams set to take the floor at Carver-Hawkeye arena tonight.  Wrestling will compete on Saturday in Iowa City as well.
