CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The way the Hawkeyes played Wednesday at John Paul Jones Arena, they might rethink ending their five-game, 11-day road trip.

Let's not go that far. The No. 24 University of Iowa women's basketball team (7-1 overall) has won 21 straight at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and welcomes a return to Mediacom Court on Sunday. But the Hawkeyes looked right at home on the road in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Wednesday, whipping Virginia, 85-73, behind 22 points from junior Alexa Kastanek and 18 from junior Ally Disterhoft.
