The ninth ranked Iowa Hawkeye women were no match for second ranked UCLA, Sunday. The Bruins crushed the Hawkeyes 96-45 in the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. The Hawkeyes trailed 22-5 at the end of one.

That’s Iowa coach Jan Jensen. UCLA shot better than 63 percent, including 13-of-26 from three point range.

The Hawkeyes are 26-6 and could be a two or three seed in the NCAA Tournament.
