LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Ava Heiden scored 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting, Hannah Stuelke had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and No. 19 Iowa never trailed Saturday as the Hawkeyes beat Miami 64-61 at the WBCA Showcase.

Taylor McCabe hit three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for Iowa (5-0). Taylor Stremlow added eight rebounds, seven points, five assists and two steals.

Amarachi Kimpson scored a season-high 19 points for Miami (4-0). Ra Shaya Kyle added 17 points and eight rebounds.

Heiden and Stuelke made back-to-back layups that gave Iowa its biggest lead at 59-46. Miami’s 13-2 run trimmed the deficit to 61-59 with 2:24 remaining.

Neither team scored again until Kylie Feuerbach made two free throws with 11 seconds left — Iowa’s first points in more than seven minutes. Gal Raviv made a layup before Feuerbach split a pair of free throws, and Kimpson missed a potential tying 3-pointer from the logo as time expired.

Chazadi Wright did not play for the Hawkeyes. The guard known as “Chit-Chat” left Iowa’s 57-52 win over No. 7 Baylor on Thursday in the third quarter with what appeared to be a concussion after tripping and hitting her forehead on the floor.
