CEDAR FALLS -- Megan Gustafson staked her claim to McLeod Center lanes early and No. 25 Iowa used its front-court strength to overpower Northern Iowa, 71-47, this afternoon inside the McLeod Center.
Gustafson finished with her 11th double-double in the first 12 games of her junior season as the 6-foot-3 center led the Hawkeyes (11-1) with 26 points and 10 rebounds on 11 of 15 shooting.
UNI (3-7) stayed in the game with six first half 3-pointers, but struggled to hit shoots throughout this contest as the Panthers finished 18 of 63 from the field and 8 of 30 from 3-point range.
