It’s a new month and a new challenge for the 17th ranked Iowa Hawkeye women who play Tennessee on Saturday night in the Women’s Champions Classic in Brooklyn. The Hawkeyes won both games at the Cancun Challenge despite playing without top scorer Lucy Olsen after she lacerated her knee in a freak accident. The Hawkeyes finished November with a record of 8-0. Iowa coach Jan Jensen.

With Olsen out of the lineup Rhode Island and BYU went after the Hawkeyes with full court pressure and Jensen says Tennessee will take it to another level.

Tennessee is 6-0 and has ten players averaging double figure minutes.
