Lindsey Meder, who finished with 25 points, hit a 3-pointer with
13.4 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 74 and send it
into overtime.
Consuegra's layup with 3:45 left gave Iowa an 80-74 lead, and the
fourth-seeded Hawkeyes (21-9) hit seven of eight free throws in the last
two minutes after Oregon cut the score to 84-80.
Brianne Meharry's touch jumper on an out-of-bounds play capped a
14-2 run as Oregon (17-12) took a 69-66 lead with 1:22 remaining in
regulation. The Ducks had trailed 60-45 with 11:11 left in
regulation.
Randi Peterson added 19 points and Consuegra had 13 points and
seven assists as Iowa won its sixth straight game and 13th in its
last 14.
Angelina Wolvert led Oregon with 18 points and 13 rebounds,
while Jenny Mowe added 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Lindsey Dion
had 16 points.
Peterson, who had just two points in the first half, scored 10
consecutive points in one stretch. Her basket and three straight
free throws sparked Iowa to a 10-0 run that ended on Mary Berdo's
long 3-pointer to give Iowa its biggest lead at 60-45 with 11:11 to
play.
As the fourth seed, the Hawkeyes would have been at home for the
first and second rounds, but Carver-Hawkeye Arena is
staging the NCAA wrestling championships.
