Never underestimate the power of a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena, with Caitlin Clark in the building. On Sunday afternoon, the Iowa women’s basketball team delivered a stunning upset, knocking off the fourth-ranked USC Trojans 76-69, despite entering the game as 15.5-point underdog. Lucy Olsen finished with a season-high 28 points, including 23 in the second half, while Addi O’Grady added 12 points and four rebounds. Syd Affolter played a bid role as well, finishing with 11 points and nine rebounds.

HawkeyeReport.com photographer Dennis Scheidt was at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday afternoon to capture some pictures of the action. Up next, the Hawkeyes will travel to Minneapolis for a matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Thursday.
