Senior guard Kathleen Doyle took another tumble against Ohio State, this time with 5:55 left in the third quarter.

She was assisted off the court and was attended to by a trainer. She returned to the bench after the next media timeout. During the next substitution, she returned to the game.

Before the incident, Doyle said on the bench that her back was hurting.

At that point in the game, Doyle was having the best night out of all the Hawkeyes, with a team leading 12 points. She also had three assists.
