Caitlin Clark had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists as No. 10 Iowa defeated No. 2 Ohio State 83-72 before an announced crowd of 9,955 on Monday night in Columbus, giving the Buckeyes their first loss of the season.
With Iowa's win, plus Indiana's victory over Michigan, there is a now three-way tie for first place in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes (16-4), Buckeyes (19-1) and Hoosiers (18-1) are all 8-1 in conference play.
"They came in just wanting to have that warrior, even mentality, and I thought we did that," Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. "I could just name person after person. They all did a great job, and I'm really proud of them."
The triple-double was the eighth of Clark's career. Monika Czinano had 22 points on 11-for-13 shooting.
Ohio State became the highest-ranked opponent Iowa has ever beaten. The Buckeyes' 19-game win streak was the third-longest in program history.
