Gophers Woman’s Basketball Team Drops Home Fight to Iowa

“It’s very frustrating, but we can’t hang our heads,” Heyer said. “We will continue to work and we have to watch movies and find out what we did wrong.”

Down 11 by half Gophers came in six in the fourth quarter.

Then McKinney and Stewart each had five points in a 14-8 start to the fourth that was the scoring.

But at the other end, Stuelke was buried. She made the first free throw, missed the second. But affolter got the offensive board, got the ball to Feuerbach, who was buried and made both free kicks. After a Gophers Miss, Stuelke scored again. Another miss and affolter hit a three, and Hawkeyes was back in control for good.

“They were out of us in that game,” Plitzuweit said. “They started with an edge and took it straight towards us.”

That’s how the game also ended.
