In a battle between two of the best guards in the country, Northwestern (10-3, 2-0 B1G) took down No. 22 Iowa (7-4, 1-1 B1G), 77-69, behind a monstrous offensive and defensive performance from Veronica Burton and a strong supporting scoring effort from Melannie Daley.
The senior point guard scored 25 points while adding six rebounds, six assists, and a whopping eight steals to lead her team to victory over the ranked Hawkeyes, all while largely locking up arguably the best scorer in the Big Ten in Caitlyn Clark in the final quarter.
The upset win also served as a breakout game for the first-year guard Daley, who scored 22 points of her own on 9-of-16 shooting.
