A big crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena never even had a chance to get into the game, Sunday. Nebraska shot a blistering 62 percent in the second quarter to blow the game open in a 92-74 win over 25th ranked Iowa. The Hawkeyes trailed by thirty points at halftime and it left coach Lisa Bluder looking for answers. The Hawkeyes shot only 41 percent, including one of 12 from three point range, and were outrebounded 44-33.

Megan Gustafson had 26 points and 10 rebounds and Kathleen Doyle had 16 points. They were the only Hawkeyes in double figures. Iowa falls to 4-5 in the Big Ten and 16-6 overall. It was Nebraska’s ninth straight road win and the Huskers improve to 7-2 in the Big Ten.
