IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Iowa women’s basketball team fell to Nebraska, 87-84, in overtime inside a sold-out Carver Hawkeye Arena on Thursday night.
The Hawkeyes were led by junior Hannah Stuelke, who recorded her fifth double-double this season with 16 points and 16 rebounds. Freshman Aaliyah Guyton made a career-high 14 points, while senior Lucy Olsen also tallied 14 points. Senior Kylie Feuerbach contributed 13 points, including a pair of three-pointers.
Iowa went on a 9-0 run in the midst of the first quarter to take a six-point lead. Nebraska responded by hitting six three-pointers, four of which came in less than two minutes, to close out the first 10 minutes with a 26-19 lead. Feuerbach led the quarter for the Hawkeyes with two threes and eight points. The first 10 minutes featured three ties and two lead changes.
The Hawkeyes took control of the second quarter, outscoring the Huskers, 18-12. Feuerbach's steal resulting in a three-pointer by Guyton brought the Hawkeyes back within one despite trailing by as much as 10 with 8:27 to go before the break. Stuelke contributed seven points in the quarter to help the Hawkeyes go into halftime trailing by one, 37-38.
Out of the half, senior Sydney Affolter made a layup in the first possession to regain the Hawkeyes' lead. It was a back-and-forth battle, but the Hawkeyes were able to take control at the end of the quarter by going on a 7-2 run. Addi O’Grady and Guyton led the surge with six points each in the quarter helping the Hawkeyes to a 56-51 lead going into the final stretch.
Iowa held control through the entirety of the fourth quarter led by Olsen with eight points. With 50 seconds left, the Huskers downed their 13th three to tie the game. The Hawkeyes were able to regain a two-point lead, but Nebraska freshman Britt Prince downed two free throws to send the game into overtime.
In overtime, Nebraska took an early lead with free throws and maintained it throughout. Despite a strong effort from the Hawkeyes, including four straight points from O’Grady, Nebraska's Logan Nissley sealed the game with crucial free throws in the final seconds, leading to a victory for the Huskers.
