Iowa women's basketball beats Michigan, makes 5th Big Ten Tournament title game in 6 years
· Yahoo Sports
INDIANAPOLIS — Iowa women's basketball took down Michigan, 59-42, to advance to the Big Ten Tournament championship game for the fifth time in the last six years.
The Wolverines were very inconsistent throughout the game. They had a dismal first quarter, went on a run to take the lead at the third, then couldn't finish the job in the fourth. Two subpar quarters doomed Michigan in what was an otherwise competitive game — Michigan scored just four points in the first quarter and six in the fourth. The Wolverines shot just 27.1% from the field.

The two teams traded baskets throughout the third, but Iowa pulled away with a 10-0 run over three minutes midway through the fourth quarter, riding that run through to the end of the game.
Foul trouble plagued Michigan's frontcourt as well; Michigan starting center Ashley Sofilkanich fouled out with two minutes remaining. With Sofilkanich limited to just 16 minutes, Iowa won the rebounding battle, 40-32.
Mila Holloway and Olivia Olson led the Wolverines with 10 points each.
Ava Heiden led the Hawkeyes with 16 points, and Hannah Stuelke recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
No. 2 Iowa and No. 1 UCLA will tip off in the championship game at 2:15 p.m. Sunday on CBS.
