The 21st ranked Iowa women outscored sixth ranked Michigan 33-14 in the second quarter and roared away to a 104-80 victory, Sunday, to grab a share of its first Big Ten regular season title since 2008. The Hawkeyes shot 60 percent and finished 16 of 29 from three point range in front of a sold out Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. The Hawkeyes finished the regular season on a four game win streak to share the title with Ohio State.

Caitlin Clark scored 38 points and added 11 assists. She was eight of 11 behind the arc.

After trailing by 11 in the opening quarter Clark helped ignite the Hawkeyes in the second quarter as they took control.
