No. 10 Iowa Meets No. 8 Vanderbilt Seeking First Series Win

No. 10 Iowa (3-1) meets No. 8 Vanderbilt (4-0) Sunday in Sioux City, with the Hawkeyes seeking their first win against the Commodores, who lead the series 4-0. Vanderbilt has scored at least 100 points in every game and averages 103.8 points, led by junior All-American Mikayla Blakes, who averages 22 points. Iowa is coming off a 78-40 win over Northern Iowa after a loss to No. 2 UConn, and will look to its defense and Amari Whiting to contain Blakes. Dani Carnegie, who leads Iowa at 16.8 points per game, adds scoring punch for the Hawkeyes, though coach Jan Jensen has said the team needs to improve its passing and ball security.
