No. 10 Iowa handed No. 2 Ohio State its first loss of the season, 83-72, on Monday night in Columbus, Ohio, leaving just two undefeated teams in Division I women’s basketball.
Junior guard Caitlin Clark led the Hawkeyes with 28 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds for the eighth triple-double of her college career. Clark, who celebrated her 21st birthday on Sunday, has the third-most triple-doubles in Division I history, trailing Oregon‘s Sabrina Ionescu (26 from 2017 to 2020) and Lamar‘s Chastadie Barrs (nine from 2016 to 2019).
Ohio State was just 4-of-25 from 3-point range on Monday and was 38 percent overall from the floor.
Iowa, Ohio State and Indiana, which defeated Michigan 92-83 on Monday night, are tied atop the Big Ten at 8-1. Indiana, which at 18-1 is off to the best start in program history, will host Ohio State on Thursday.
