Iowa’s women’s basketball team had its biggest test of the young 2023–24 season on Thursday night, as the No. 3 Hawkeyes took on No. 8 Virginia Tech in the highly anticipated Ally Tipoff.
Fortunately, Caitlin Clark was her usual dominant self, and helped carry Iowa to a narrow 80–76 victory.
Clark led the charge offensively with 44 points, just shy of her career high of 46. She had the green light to shoot at will, knocking down 13-of-31 field goal attempts, which accounted for more than 45% of the Hawkeyes’ total shots.
