Matthew Holst/ PRESS-CITIZEN
It seemed as if only a TV Timeout could save Iowa from Kansas' demoralizing five-headed attack.
No. 19 Kansas earned its first road victory and moved to 2-0 on the season, beating Iowa 65-53 at the Carver Hawkeye Arena. It was a key victory that was only easy at the beginning and the end.
With every one of Kansas' starters doing her part early, the team jumped out to a quick 11-0 lead just four minutes into the game. Kansas dictated the pace early, as it ran a quick transition offense and spread the ball around to all of their weapons.
Then came an impenetrable brick wall.
Following a timeout, Iowa coach Lisa Bluder changed her defense to a 2-3 zone. The switch was vital for a Hawkeye turnaround, as the defense slowed Kansas' assault. Senior guard Danielle McCray struggled to find the rhythm that she so easily discovers at Allen Fieldhouse, missing nine shots in a row before ending the streak with a lay-up to finish the half. Freshman guard Angel Goodrich's usual ambition was put at bay, leading her to play a safer and more fundamental style.
"It'll be really good for us to try to be more aggressive in transition against the zone," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
It took six minutes for the home team to score its first points, after starting 0-9 from the field. But the game abruptly transformed into junior guard Kachine Alexander's
show, as she finished with 23 points and 17 rebounds.
"She's a machine," Henrickson said.
Kachine the machine and the Hawkeyes fought back with a 13-2 run of their own, setting the stage for a nail-biting battle of toughness and poise.
"It's hard when the momentum changes," senior guard Kelly Kohn said of playing on the road. "It's harder to pull it back."
Then McCray started improving after completing a lay-up, two consecutive three-pointers, and a picturesees midrange jump-shot off the glass. The 4-4 start was just what she needed after a 2-11 first half. McCray's lethal second half helped her finish with 20 points and 7 rebounds. The superstar's resurrection helped get the rest of her team going.
Despite Goodrich, McCray and junior center Krysten Boogaard shooting a collective 5-27 in the first half. Kansas clung to a 27-26 lead at halftime.
Goodrich arrived in the second half as she swerved and spun through defenders, using the glass to sink highlight worthy lay-ups, runners and tear-drops. She also rediscovered the daring edginess that she is known for, finding her post players for high percentage shots with no-look passes. The young point guard finished with 10 points (all in the second half), 7 assists and 6 rebounds.
"She didn't just try to differ and start throwing around the zone." Henrickson said.
Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland displayed her athleticism and talent on her way to a
double-double, owning the paint with lay-ups and flexing her most underdressed feature, a steady jumpshot. Once again Sutherland was a force, finishing with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 4 steals.
With 1:10 to go, senior guard Sade Morris showed her experienced, knocking down a three pointer in the corner that spaced the lead to 10 points. It was an enormous shot that sealed the deal for a Kansas win that had all five starters finish in double digits for points.
"Those kinds of teams are
the most successful I've had," Henrickson said.
Kansas couldn't quite pull away until the end. But the win shows that this team has the grit to hold on and claim a tight one on the road.
"I thought our kids really competed and battled in a night that didn't feel very good offensively."

Reason to hope
Key second half performances
Reason to mope
Kansas entered the second half leading Iowa by a score of 27-26. Up to that point, some key Kansas players had suffered from shaky performances. Freshman Angel Goodrich failed to make a field goal in the first half. Senior guard Danielle McCray also started slowly, making only two of her field goal attempts before half time.
Only one consistent point guard
Game ball
During last night's game against Iowa, senior point guard LaChelda Jacobs played for five minutes in relief of Goodrich. While Jacobs did not turn the ball over, she failed to put points on the board and give her teammates score scoring opportunities.
Danielle McCray
After a 2-11 start from the field in the first half, McCray came out of the gates in the second half and sunk into a rhythm. She shot 6-8 from the field and scored 15 of her 20 points in the second frame. She also snagged 7 rebounds as she led Kansas to their first win on the road.
Quote of the day
"It's good to see Angel be aggressive and try to get to the rim when she couldn't get a jump-shot to fall."
Mccray
Coach Bonnie Henrickson on freshman guard Angel Goodrich's innovative playmaking skills.
Stat of the game
3
That's how many bench points Kansas racked up on its first road victory. And it came on a single three pointer from Monica Engelman. Together the bench shot a lousy and hesitant 1-8 from the field in the contest. They will need to play a much more significant role as the season moves along.
