(Iowa City) The Iowa women’s basketball team (3-0 overall) sprinted to an 11-0 lead, outscored Arkansas-Pine Bluff 20-0 in fast break points, and cruised to a 76-38 win Wednesday night, at Carver Hawkeye Arena. The Golden Lions dipped to 1-2 on the season.  It is the fewest points allowed by an Iowa women’s basketball team since it defeated Michigan 53-36 on Dec. 30, 1994.

Three Hawkeyes scored in double figures with juniors Bethany Doolittle and Melissa Dixon sharing game-high honors with 17. Freshman Ally Disterhoft played 23 minutes and scored 12 points with nine rebounds and four assists.

The Hawkeyes host Stony Brook on Sunday, Nov. 17, with tip-off at 1 p.m. (CT). They will then play five games away from home before returning Dec. 5 to play Syracuse.
