Ava Heiden had 28 points and Hannah Stuelke added 18 points as the ninth ranked Iowa Hawkeye women held off Illinois 82-78, Thursday night, in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes rallied from a six point fourth quarter deficit to move to 14-3 in the Big Ten.

That’s Iowa coach Jan Jensen. After dominating sixth ranked Michigan on Sunday the Hawkeyes were pushed to the limit by the Illini.

Iowa closes the regular season on Sunday at Wisconsin.
