IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Three weeks ago -- at Michigan -- University of Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder pleaded for her women's basketball team to set up posts Chase Coley and Megan Gustafson.

The Hawkeyes executed that plan Thursday with both "bigs" compiling double-doubles in points and rebounds. The result was an 85-69 victory for Iowa, ending a three-game losing streak and avenging a heartbreaking setback to the Wolverines on Jan. 7.

The Hawkeyes improve to 13-7 overall, 4-5 in the Big Ten Conference; Michigan is 11-9, 3-6.
