MINNEAPOLIS — The second half belonged to the University of Iowa women’s basketball team in Sunday’s 94-68 victory over Minnesota inside Williams Arena.

Leading 47-41 at halftime, the Hawkeyes outscored the Gophers 47-27 in the second half to top Minnesota for the second time this season and fifth straight time in the series, improving to 10-4 overall and 6-4 in the Big Ten Conference.

Freshman Caitlin Clark (22 points, 11 assists) and sophomore McKenna Warnock (11 points, 10 rebounds) recorded double-doubles in the 26-point win. It was Clark’s fifth double-double of the season and Warnock’s third.

“We were fired up,” said Clark, who broke Iowa’s freshman scoring record. “We were excited to play. It’s always hard to sit on a loss. We wanted to come out and make a statement, and we did that well. A lot of people contributed, and that’s when we’re playing at our best.”

Iowa junior Monika Czinano, a Watertown, Minn., native, led all scorers with 23 points on 11-of-14 shooting. Czinano, the nation’s leader in field goal percentage, has missed only five shots (28-of-33) in her last two games and was one of four Hawkeyes in double digits on Sunday.

Halfway through the third quarter with a 10-point lead (57-47), Iowa put the game completely out of reach with an 18-3 run to end the period.

After stealing the Minnesota inbounds pass, junior guard Tomi Taiwo put the exclamation point on Iowa’s third-quarter dominance by draining a 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded.

Iowa’s defense forced seven third-quarter turnovers to spark the Hawkeye offense.

“When you’re knocking down 3s, getting steals, and getting easy layups — it’s fun basketball,” Clark said. “Everyone was smiling and having fun. The coaches were having fun. It’s what we want to do every single night.”

Clark and Czinano scored 15 of Iowa’s 19 points in the fourth quarter to cap off Iowa’s second road win this season.

Minnesota saw its season-high three-game winning streak snapped. Sara Scalia led the way for the Golden Gophers (5-8, 4-7) with 16 points, while fellow sophomore Jasmine Powell also reached double figures with 12 points.

Iowa hits the road again to face Ohio State on Thursday at 5 p.m. in Columbus, Ohio. The No. 14 Buckeyes snapped Iowa’s 42-game home winning streak in the first meeting, handing the Hawkeyes an 84-82 overtime loss on Jan. 13.
