INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.— What began as neck-and-neck battle at Gainbridge Fieldhouse slowly soured, as Northwestern (17-12, 8-9 B1G) fell 72-59 to No. 12 Iowa (21-7, 15-4 B1G) in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
In what might very well be her last appearance in a Wildcat uniform, Veronica Burton turned in a memorable night with a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds, adding four assists, three steals and two blocks. Courtney Shaw helped out on the boards, adding 12 rebounds of her own, and Lauryn Satterwhite boosted the scoreline with 12 points to her name. For the Hawkeyes, it was the usual duo of Caitlin Clark and Monika Czinano who combined for 40 points and 20 rebounds.
