The No. 10 Iowa women's basketball team returns to action tonight.
The Hawkeyes will take on Eastern Illinois inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena at 7 p.m. CT. Iowa opened the 2026-27 season with a 73-45 win over Towson on Monday night.
Dani Carnegie led the way, scoring 21 points and adding five assists in her Hawkeye debut. Chit-Chat Wright pitched in 14 points of her own in 29 minutes. And five-star freshman McKenna Woliczko made her highly anticipated Iowa debut. She had ten points and eight rebounds.
Iowa will look to build on its momentum against the visiting Panthers. Eastern Illinois is in the middle of a state tour. They fell to Drake 76-54 on Tuesday night in Des Moines. They're in Iowa City tonight to play the Hawkeyes. And they'll wrap up the trip
on Sunday in Ames to take on Iowa State.
