KEY MOMENTS

The Hoosiers (12-4, 4-1 B1G) opened the game on a 6-0 start while Garzon piled on a pair of 3-pointers to put her team up 14-7 at the media timeout. They forced the Hawkeyes (12-5, 2-4 B1G) into six turnovers in the first as Indiana ed 18-13 after one.
In the second, IU jumped on a lengthy scoring drought from Iowa as it built as many as a 15-point edge with Garzon draining her third 3-pointer and junior guard Lexus Bargesser found graduate student guard Sydney Parrish cutting to the rim with 3:46 remaining. But Iowa pushed back as the Hoosiers scored just one bucket the rest of the frame and held on to a 36-30 halftime advantage.
Iowa came out in the third to make it a one-possession game and came within as few as two early in the quarter. Parrish and Garzon drained back-to-back threes with 4:39 remaining to go up 10, 49-39. Parrish's three was part of her 11 points in the third quarter where the Hoosiers shot 53.3 percent.
Taking that 10 point lead into the fourth, Indiana once again raised its lead to 15. The Hawkeyes took advantage, however, on a seven-and-a-half minute scoring drought by IU. Senior forward Karoline Striplin stepped up with a big time shot with 1:28 remaining pushing the lead up to six.

NOTABLE

Garzon led the way with 21 points, finishing a point shy of her season high. It's the 14^th double figure scoring game for her this season and 14^th time she's made multiple 3-pointers.
She also tied the school record for best 3-point field goal percentage in a single game by going 5-for-5 from the arc. She becomes the ninth player in school history to go perfect from three in a game.
Moore-McNeil added 18 points in the win, dishing out four assists to go with her three rebounds, steal and a block.
Parrish chipped in 15 points as she knocked down three triples and pulled down five rebounds plus a team-high three blocks.
The Hoosiers went 41.7 percent from the 3-point line and knocked down 10 triples on the afternoon. It's the fifth game this season with 10 or more triples and IU is 5-0 in those games.
Indiana dished out 18 assists led by a career-high six from Striplin. Moore-McNeil and Garzon had four each.
Striplin also led the Hoosiers with six rebounds.

UP NEXT
Indiana will return home and host Illinois on Thursday in a 7 p.m. ET tip at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
