The Iowa women faltered late in an NCAA upset loss at home.

Rob Brooks with the call on the Hawkeye Network. Creighton closed the game on an 8-2 run to stun the eighth ranked Hawkeyes 64-62 in Iowa City. Iowa transfer Lauren Jensen led Creighton with 19 points and her late three pointer was the game winner.

Jensen’s heroics lead Creighton to a first-ever trip to the Sweet-16.

In front of a record setting crowd the Hawkeyes came up short in a bid for a third straight trip to the Sweet-16.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. A season that included a Big Ten regular season and tournament title ends with a record of 24-8.

That’s Iowa sophomore Caitlin Clark who was limited to 15 points on four of 19 shooting.
