In the closing minutes of the game, Cavey followed with a pair of baskets to stretch Iowa’s lead to 74-68 with 1:55 remaining.

With just 38.4 ticks left, Faulkner hit two free throws to bump the edge to six, 76-70.
The Gophers, who had swept the season series from the Hawkeyes, would not go quietly as Shannon Schonrock drilled a deep three-pointer with 27.3 seconds left, pulling Minnesota to three, 76-73. Johanna Solverson calmly drained both her free throws after being fouled on the ensuing inbound play for a 78-73 edge.
With just 4.6 seconds left, Lindsay Lieser delivered a three-pointer from the corner in hopes of lifting the Gophers back into the game, but one free three by Lillis with 1.6 seconds left and an offensive rebound by Cavey at the buzzer sent Iowa into the semifinals.
Tiffany Reedy and Becca McCann combined for 12 points off the bench in the first half while Solverson scored seven of her 14 points in the game’s first 3:39.
Faulkner ended the game with 21 points while Lillis chipped in with 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, joining Cavey and Solverson in double-digits.

Lillis has attempted at least one free throw in 101-of-106 games she has played, including all ten games this year.
CAVEY IMPROVES AT THE CHARITY STRIPE
Jamie Cavey’s free throw shooting is just one aspect of her game that she has improved on this year. Cavey has converted 46-68 (.676) from the charity stripe this year. Last year, she made 38-72 (.528) of her attempts.
REEDY MAKING THE MOST OF STARTING ROLE
Sophomore Tiffany Reedy has started at forward the last six games. The native of Dysart, IA, has averaged 6.0 ppg and 5.3 rpg while starting. Reedy pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds at Missouri on Dec. 30. The 16 rebounds in a game are the most by a Hawkeye since Jerica Watson collected 16 vs. Virginia in the first round of the 2002 NCAA Tournament in Storrs, CT.
Reedy scored the Hawkeyes’ first eight points and 11 of their first 14 in the first 5:30 of the Creighton game.

The Hawkeyes rank third in the Big Ten in scoring (74.5).
FOUL PLAY

The native of Haughton, LA, matched her career high with 10 points, blocked her first career shot, collected a career-high four assists and grabbed four rebounds. Smith scored a career-high 10 points on 4-5 from the field, bolstered by a perfect 2-2 from three-point range at Florida International. She also collected four rebounds, three of which were offensive, and two steals.
She has collected two or more steals five times.
CAVEY PACES HAWKEYES
Jamie Cavey has been a force in the post for Iowa. Cavey ranks first on the squad in scoring (16.9) and field goal percentage (.565) and second in rebounding (5.3). In addition, she ranks sixth in the Big Ten in scoring, seventh in field goal percentage and 20th in rebounding. Cavey has led the Hawkeyes in scoring in 8-of-13 games. She has scored in double figures ten straight games and 12-of-13 this season, including posting 20 points or more five times.
Cavey has scored 20 points or more in two of Iowa’s last three contests. The native of Mechanicsville, IA, matched a career high with 26 points and four assists and posted career highs in free throws made (8) and attempted (11) in Iowa’s home win over Illinois. She tallied a game-high 20 points, grabbed six rebounds and posted career highs in steals (4) and minutes played (36) at Missouri.
Against Creighton, Cavey scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-5 FT) and posted career bests in blocks (5), rebounds (10) and tied a career high in assists (4).
Cavey has scored 220 points already this season and is the fastest player to reach 200 points in a single season since Lindsey Meder scored 225 points in Iowa’s first 12 games during the 2000-01 campaign.
LILLIS CONTINUES TO CLIMB CAREER CHARTS
Senior Jennie Lillis is a leader on and off the court. The native of Urbandale, IA, has started all but one game in her career and currently has 1,506 career points, which ranks seventh on Iowa’s career scoring chart. She also has collected 723 rebounds, which ranks eighth-best all-time. Lillis is on pace to finish her career in the top-five in career rebounding and scoring. Lillis, who also spends some of her free time at the University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics, was a preseason all-Big Ten selection the last two years.
Lillis drained a career-high three 3-pointers vs. Kansas State and a clutch triple down the stretch vs. Creighton. She has made a season-high nine 3-pointers, besting last year’s total (5). Lillis has made 15 career 3-pointers. She has made at least one three-pointer in three of Iowa’s last six games and has attempted at least one triple in all six contests.
The three-time captain started the 2003-04 season strong, collecting 11 points or more and in all games. Lillis in the only Hawkeye to score in double figures in every game this year. She posted her first double-double of the season and 16th of her career vs. Saint Joseph’s (19 points, 10 rebounds).
Lillis is 93 points from moving into sixth in career scoring and four rebounds from sliding into the No. 7 position in career rebounds.
FAULKNER: IOWA’S 3-POINT THREAT
Senior Kristi Faulkner ranks third on the squad in scoring (14.5), first in 3-pointers made (22), attempted (49) and percentage (.449) and fourth in rebounding (4.1). She has made at least one triple in 12-of-13 games this year. Her streak of 12 consecuitve games with at least one triple ended at Penn State. Faulkner has scored in double figures in 10-of-13 games, including posting 20 points or more three times.
The native of Glen Ellyn, IL, registered a game-high 26 points at Florida International, 22 points at Iowa State and 24 vs. Drake. She made a season-high four three-pointers against the Cyclones. Faulkner scored 12 points and pulled down eight rebounds vs. Creighton.

RAINING THREES
Iowa converted 5-13 (.385) 3-pointers at Penn State. Iowa has drained exactly five 3-pointers in its last five games. The Hawkeyes have made at least one three-pointer in 161 consecutive contests. It is a streak that has occurred over a span of seven seasons. The last time the Hawkeyes did not make a three-pointer was against Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament on March 1, 1998.
CENTER OF ATTENTION
For the fourth consecutive season, Iowa started its season with a new starting center. Junior Jamie Cavey has solidified herself as Iowa’s starting center in preseason practice.
Since Coach Bluder began coaching the Hawkeyes in 2000 Iowa has had a different center start the season. Randi Peterson was Iowa’s starter in 2000-01, followed by Beatrice Bullock (2001-02) and Tracy Schrupp (2002-03). Peterson, Bullock and Schrupp were all seniors. Cavey is the first junior starting center Coach Bluder has coached at Iowa.
REMMERDE DECIDES TO TRANSFER
Iowa Head Coach Lisa Bluder announced Monday that freshman shooting guard Deb Remmerde has decided to transfer to Northwestern College (Orange City, IA). Bluder has granted Remmerde her release.
“My decision to leave the University of Iowa was an extremely difficult decision,” said Remmerde. I have nothing but positive things to say about the players and coaching staff. Both went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The reason I’ve decided to transfer is that I want to be closer to home. I wish Iowa and the Hawkeye basketball family nothing but the best.”
“We regret Deb’s decision to leave the University of Iowa, but we also understand and have witnessed how homesick she is,” commented Bluder. Her unfortunate injury only added to Deb’s desire to return to her home community. We know that Deb has a bright future ahead of her and she will excel at Northwestern College.”
Remmerde suffered a stress fracture in her left foot in preseason practice and has still not recovered 100 percent from her injury. The native of Rock Valley, played limited minutes in two games this year (Kansas State and Drake). Remmerde is the Iowa high school all-time scoring leader and was named Miss Basketball her senior year.
