Hannah Stuelke, welcome to history!
The Iowa Hawkeyes forward dropped a career-best and Carver-Hawkeye Arena record 47 points in the 111-93 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions on Thursday night. Everything Stuelke did seemed to work, and Iowa kept feeding her.
Caitlin Clark had only 27. It feels ridiculous to use the word only there but she has been on fire lately. What she did have was 15 assists and showed her ability to find teammates. She is also being put on watch to break the scoring record. She needs 39 points to become women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer.
Kate Martin and Sydney Affolter contributed in vitally important ways, and without their efforts, this game could have turned the other way against the Nittany Lions.
The Hawkeyes improved to 22-2 (11-1 Big Ten) as they enter their final six games of the regular season. Here are a few key takeaways from the record-breaking night inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
