(AP) --- Ava Heiden scored 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting, Hannah Stuelke had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and No. 19 Iowa never trailed Saturday night as the Hawkeyes beat Miami 64-61 at the WBCA Showcase. Taylor McCabe hit three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for Iowa (5-0). Taylor Stremlow added eight rebounds, seven points, five assists and two steals. Amarachi Kimpson scored a season-high 19 points for Miami (4-0). Ra Shaya Kyle added 17 points and eight rebounds and Vittoria Blasigh scored 11 points. Heiden and Stuelke made back-to-back layups to open the fourth quarter that gave Iowa its biggest lead of the game at 59-46 with 9:18 remaining. Kimpson made a 3 and a jumper before Blasigh scored six consecutive points and Kyle made a layup that capped a 13-2 run and trimmed Miami's deficit to 61-59 with 2:24 remaining. Neither team scored until Kylie Feuerbach made two free throws with 11 seconds left --- Iowa's first points since Stuelke made a layup with 8:30 to play. Gal Raviv made a layup about four seconds later and Feuerbach split a pair of free throws before Kimpson missed a potential tying 3-pointer from the logo as time expired. Chazadi Wright did not play for the Hawkeyes. The guard known as "Chit-Chat" left Iowa's 57-52 win over No. 7 Baylor on Thursday in the third quarter with what appeared to be a concussion after tripping and hitting her forehead on the floor.
