Tennessee Lady Vols Beat No. 17 Iowa 78-68

The Tennessee Lady Vols achieved a significant victory over No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes, winning 78-68 in the Women's Champions Classic at Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Talaysia Cooper was pivotal in the win, scoring 19 of her 23 points in the second half, including key baskets that led to a decisive 12-1 run to clinch the game. Tennessee's defense was formidable, forcing Iowa into 30 turnovers and scoring 24 points off those mistakes, contributing to their unbeaten record of 7-0 this season. Iowa, led by first-year head coach Jan Jensen, struggled to maintain control against Tennessee's fast-paced style. The matchup was notable as it marked the first meeting between the two programs since 1993. The Lady Vols are set to host North Carolina Central next Saturday.
