Cedar Rapids native Brenda Frese has had phenomenal success in her 20 years as the head coach of the Maryland women's basketball program. Thursday night in Iowa City, her team had no answer for the "law firm" of Clark & Czinano. Another Cedar Rapids native showed why everyone believes she'll soon be a star player for the Hawkeyes.

Thursday night, the Iowa offense was in top form. The Hawkeyes put up 29 in the first
quarter including 11 from Caitlin Clark (#22), who missed only one shot in the first ten minutes of action.

Iowa roared to a 56-38 halftime lead. At the break, Clark and Monika Czinano (#25 below) had combined for 42 points on 18 of 22 shooting.

In the second half, Maryland threatened to get back in it but was never able to get the margin under double figures. Iowa won the game 96-82.

Monika Czinano's final numbers: 28 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals. Caitlin Clark ended the contest with 42 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals.

In what is amazingly becoming routine, Clark had another night that no one's matched in two decades:

Hannah Stuelke (#45 below), a first-year player from Cedar Rapids, had 13 points in the game for Iowa and battled all over the floor. Stuelke played for less than 17 minutes.
