The short-handed Hawkeyes took care of business at home against Western Illinois on Wednesday night.
While it was not the prettiest game at times, Iowa found ways to win by having new faces step up while other players were out with injuries.
Freshman phenom Addie Deal had her best game to date on Wednesday night, leading the team in points (17) and assists (five) after seeing an expanded role.
Fellow freshman Journey Houston also provided some good minutes off the bench, adding three points and five rebounds.
Seldom-used Callie Levin also made a solid contribution with six points and three rebounds.
