A total of 55,646 fans turned out in Iowa City for the “Crossover at Kinnick” women’s basketball exhibition between DePaul and Iowa. Returning national player of the year Caitlin Clark had a triple-double of 34 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Lisa Bluder’s idea turned into history. Iowa’s coach came up with the plan for her team to play an outdoor game at Kinnick Stadium, with the hope of setting an all-time women’s basketball single-game attendance record. Iowa Hawkeyes guard Kate Martin shoots during the 'Crossover at Kinnick' exhibition game in Iowa City, Iowa, on Oct. 15, 2023. Iowa did that, and more.
“I think this was amazing,” said DePaul guard Michelle Sidor. “Sixty thousand people coming out for women’s basketball was pretty special.” Women’s and girls basketball has a long and rich history in Iowa. Girls played six-on-six high school basketball more than a century ago — three offensive players, three defensive players, only two dribbles and none allowed to cross half court.
