IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa women's basketball team's comeback bid fell short in a 77-72 loss to Ball State on Thursday night in the opening round of the WNIT.
The Hawkeyes trailed by as many as 16 points early in the third quarter and by 13 (59-46) with 1:24 left before building some momentum with the quarter's final five points. Freshman Megan Gustafson's layup cut the lead to 11 and sophomore Whitney Jennings hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to get Iowa to within single digits at 59-51.
