Tears and Cheers on Senior Day as Hawkeyes Top #6 Michigan

Another talented group of seniors said goodbye to fans at Carver Hawkeye-Arena on Sunday. They also got a win over a top 10 team in the process.

Hawkeyes Hold On to Beat #6 Michigan

On Senior Day in Iowa City, it was a super sophomore that led the way for the Hawkeyes. Center Ava Heiden scored 20 of her 24 points in the second half as #13 Iowa beat #6 Michigan 62-44, according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette. It was the fourth straight win for Iowa, and puts them in a tie for second place in the Big Ten with Michigan, with two regular-season games left on the schedule, according to the Gazette.

Four Iowa Seniors Honored on Senior Day

The Hawkeyes honored four seniors on Sunday: Kylie Feuerbach, Hanah Stuelke, Taylor McCabe, and Jada Gyamfi. Stuelke missed the Purdue game with an injury, but was back Sunday and put up 11 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, according to the Gazette. Feuerbach had eight points, but limited Michigan's top scorer to just 13 points.

The Gazette reports that Iowa has one final regular-season home game against Illinois on Thursday, and then will be at Wisconsin next Sunday. The Big Ten Tournament is the first week of March.
