The Iowa Women’s Basketball team dominated Drake on both ends of the floor to win 100-58, in their largest margin of victory since 1992. The Hawkeyes used a 25-0 run in the first half and a 13-1 run to start the second half to easily power past the Bulldogs at Carver Hawkeye Arena. At the time Drake led 9-8 but after the run, the Hawkeye women didn’t look back in front of another sell out crowd.
Iowa shot 53.9% from the field, knocked down 10 3-pointers and forced 23 Drake turnovers en route to the blowout triumph. The Hawkeyes out-assisted Drake, 30-15, won in fast break points, 20-9, and dominated points in the paint, 62-24.

UCF transfer wing Emely Rodriguez knocked down 5-of-8 field goal attempts and had a couple buckets where she showed off some nifty footwork. The sophomore added 11 points off the Iowa bench. Fellow sophomore Taylor Stremlow added a pair of 3-pointers and 10 points in just eight minutes.
Freshman center Layla Hays notched her first career double-double, scoring 14 points and pulling down 10 boards. The Wasilla, Alaska, native finished with a 5-of-10 shooting performance and also had a pair of assists. Hays had five of Iowa’s 16 offensive rebounds.

Iowa and the Big Ten’s all-time winningest coach, Lisa Bluder, made her broadcasting debut and absolutely crushed it.
Bluder sounded like a seasoned vet wearing the headset as she diagnosed the action and shared her coaching expertise on the Big Ten Network broadcast. Iowa fans loved it. The Hawkeyes travel to UNI on Sunday for a 2pm game at the McLeod Center.
