LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jaylyn Agnew scored 24 points and Sydney Lamberty added 20 to lead No. 11 Creighton to a 76-70 win over No. 6 seeded Iowa in a first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday. The Bluejays (19-12) snapped a four-game losing streak to Iowa and advanced to the second round and will play UCLA on Monday. Megan Gustafson scored 29 points and had 17 rebounds for the Hawkeyes (24-8).

Gustafson is the only player in the country averaging 25 or more points and 12 or more rebounds per game and is one of two NCAA women basketball players to do so in the last 10 years. She was named Big Ten Player of the Year and has registered 28 double doubles this season and has recorded double doubles in 33 of her last 40 games.
