It took overtime and a 10-point comeback, but the Iowa women’s basketball team grabbed a win against Princeton on Wednesday night, 77-75.

Iowa was just a few seconds away from securing the win in regulation, but a 3-pointer from Princeton’s Julia Cunningham sent the game into overtime. 

Iowa struggled in the first half, shooting just 29 percent from the field and committing nine turnovers. Princeton took advantage of these shortcomings, shooting over 45 percent from 3-point range and out-rebounding the Hawkeyes by 10.

Iowa finally came alive with just a few minutes left in the third quarter. Back-to-back 3-pointers from freshmen McKenna Warnock and Gabbie Marshall sparked an Iowa comeback, as Princeton’s lead was cut to only a pair of points heading into the fourth quarter. 

The Hawkeyes outscored the Tigers by 10 points in the second half, largely due to clean shooting. Iowa shot 56 percent from the field and 46 percent from 3-point range in the second half, largely on the back of guard Makenzie Meyer, who went 3-for-4 from deep.

Princeton has qualified for the NCAA Tournament for two-straight years and is the defending Ivy League Conference Champion.

Iowa now travels to Puerto Rico for the Puerto Rico Clasico. It takes on Cincinnati on Nov. 27 at 1:30 p.m.
