Iowa women's basketball vs. Maryville: Fans, media react to win

No. 10 Iowa women's basketball routed Maryville on Thursday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, 124-67, in the Hawkeyes' lone exhibition matchup of the season.Although the Hawkeyes got contributions from all over the roster, Dani Carnegie led the stat sheet with 30 points on 11 of 14 shooting and 4 of 7 from 3-point range. Additionally, Ava Heiden (19), McKenna Woliczko (14), Jocelyn Faison (14), Chit-Chat Wright (13), and Amari Whiting (10) all joined Carnegie as double-figure scorers. Woliczko grabbed 10 rebounds to secure a double-double in her first action in the black and gold."There were a lot of great things. We saw a lot of offensive promise... A lot of things we need to clean up, but I think for an opening exhibition we were able to set some tones in some areas. I'm pleased. And so, we'll hopefully keep building from here," Iowa head women's basketball coach Jan Jensen said afterwards.As Iowa turns its attention toward its regular-season opener on Monday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. CT against Towson, here are some of the best reactions from fans and media to Thursday night's win:So glad I revived my Big Ten+ membership this week. Love getting to watch Maryville play D1s every preseason. https://t.co/xcB4riWivU— Talia Goodman (@TaliaGoodmanWBB) October 29, 2026Carver Cones are still in pre-season form 😆 (with @klogs493 ) #Hawkeyes#FightForIowapic.twitter.com/YYjYhIkRjr— Matt, Dr. Bunny Keeper 🐰 (Taylor's Version) (@05HAWKI) October 30, 2026The game is just so easy https://t.co/z5w9uZHY9k— Dallas (@DallasJonesy) October 30, 2026Alright, who has a closeup of @McKennaDub’s shoes tonight that they can share?
