DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Taylor Frederick scored 17 points and teamed with Jess Schaben to dominate play around the basket as Harlan beat Western Dubuque 56-46 Saturday night to win its second straight Class 4A state championship. Top-ranked Harlan’s victory in the battle of unbeaten teams came with little drama and capped an impressive run through this year’s tournament. The Cyclones (26-0) won their first two games at state by 23 and 26 points before their solid victory over No. 2 Western Dubuque (25-1), which also lost to Harlan in last year’s state finals.

Schaben added 14 points, nine rebounds and six blocks and Elle Kloewer scored 11 for Harlan, which ran its two-year winning streak to 52. Megan Maahs led Western Dubuque with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Morgan Pitz scored 10.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Reilly Jacobson scored 24 points and No. 2 Waukee capitalized on top-ranked West Des Moines Valley’s shooting woes to beat the Tigers 72-58 Saturday night and win the Class 5A state championship. The Waukee guards set Jacobson up for easy shots inside with crisp entry passes, and she converted to help the Warriors (24-2) claim the title in their first trip to the finals. Jacobson went 10-for-14 from the field, grabbed 12 rebounds and was named captain of the all-tournament team.

Valley (23-3), which beat Waukee 72-66 during the regular season, fell behind while it was missing 15 of 16 shots during a stretch spanning halftime and never made a serious run to get back in it. Grace Vander Weide led Valley with 20 points and nine rebounds.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Georges Niang and Monte Morris each had 19 points and No. 17 Iowa State ended the regular season with another comeback win, beating TCU 89-76 on Saturday night to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 tournament. After only two points with three turnovers before halftime, Niang had two assists, two rebounds and a layup as Iowa State (22-8, 12-6 Big 12) went ahead to stay with a 16-5 run in the first 4½ minutes of the second half. That included the assist on a tiebreaking 3-pointer by Naz Long.

Kenrich Williams had 17 points and Kyan Anderson 16 for TCU (17-14, 4-14), which had won its previous three home games. Bryce Dejean-Jones added 15 points for the Cyclones, who had a 63-point outburst in the second half. Jameel McKay had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell scored 29 points for the second night in a row, Alexa Hart added 24 and Ohio State topped No. 14 Iowa 91-85 in overtime to advance to the Big Ten Conference tournament final on Sunday. Ohio State (23-9) will face No. 4 Maryland (29-2), winners over No. 24 Northwestern in the other semifinal on Saturday.

In overtime, Whitney Jennings made a pair of free throws with 42 seconds left to draw Iowa to within one point. But on the next possession, Mitchell nailed a 3-pointer with 14 seconds left to make it a four-point game. Jennings missed from the inside on the next trip down, and Mitchell made two free throws to seal it. After a tightly-contested second half, Hart hit 1 of 2 free throws to put Ohio State up by two with 17 seconds to go, but Bethany Doolittle’s layup with three seconds left forced overtime.

The teams were tied at the half at 37. Melissa Dixon had 22 points and Doolittle finished with 21 for Iowa (24-7).

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Seth Tuttle led a balanced, methodical attack with 13 points and No. 11 Northern Iowa was stingy again defensively, beating Loyola 63-49 in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament semifinals on Saturday night.

Marvin Singleton and Jeremy Morgan added 11 points apiece for the Panthers (29-3), who held Bradley to 46 points in the quarterfinals. Northern Iowa is fourth in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 54 points, and has won 18 of 19 headed into the title game against fourth-seeded Illinois State (21-11), which upset top-seeded and eighth-ranked Wichita State earlier Saturday.

Northern Iowa beat Illinois State by one and 19 points in the regular season.

The Panthers shot 51 percent, scored 14 points off turnovers and held Loyola (19-13) without an offensive rebound. The Ramblers, who entered with a three-game winning streak and scored 81 points in the quarterfinals, shot 46 percent but were outrebounded 27-18 overall.

Montel James had 14 points and Milton Doyle added 11 points and six assists for Loyola.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Alli Fey scored 20 points and hit three 3-pointers during a big second-half run that carried Nevada to a 58-54 victory over Pocahontas and the girls’ Class 3A state championship on Saturday.

Fey’s outside shooting complemented the strong inside play of Lexy Koudelka and Kati Casabaum, a combination that the quick but smaller Pocahontas players couldn’t overcome — even with the Indians’ Elle Ruffridge scoring 33 points.

Koudelka, a 6-foot-1 freshman, scored 15 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and forced Pocahontas into some difficult shots near the basket. Casabaum, a 6-foot junior, shot 6-for-7 from the field and scored 16 points.
