Key moment Ohio State had a 79-78 lead in overtime when McMahon, who had made just 2 of her first 12 shots, drove and made a tough bank shot. Then, Kennedy Cambridge blocked a shot by Iowa’s Teagan Mallegni and passed to Taylor Thierry for a breakaway layup that made it 83-78 with 25 seconds left.

Key stat Thierry had five of Ohio State's 11 steals. This marks the ninth consecutive game Ohio State has had 10 or more steals. Those steals were among 20 Iowa turnovers.
