EVANSTON, IL — It was wild from start to finish, but the heartbreak-prone ‘Cats once again fell in the most painful fashion in a game that included just about everything.
Northwestern led by as much as 14 in the third quarter, but the ‘Cats couldn’t stop Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and Monika Czinano down the stretch, falling to the Hawkeyes, 72-67.
Veronica Burton did it all for the ‘Cats once again, scoring 19 points and adding seven assists, six rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 45 minutes. Laya Hartman added 14 points, while first-year Melannie Daley scored 13 off the bench.
