IOWA CITY, Iowa -- For the fourth time this season, the No. 24 University of Iowa women's basketball team held an opponent under 60 points.

The Hawkeyes improved to 4-0 in those games, adding a 60-53 victory over Bradley on Saturday on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Iowa (9-2 overall) is a team that likes to score and score often, validated by its 76.5 points-per-game average entering the game against Bradley (4-5). The Hawkeyes used a strong defensive effort to prevail this time: they won the rebounding battle, 45-40, and held the Braves to 28-percent shooting from the field (9-of-32) in the first half.
