Dani Carnegie leads Iowa in scoring, and she put up 21 points in the opener against Towson.
The Georgia transfer averaged 18.1 points there last season. She is shooting 20.8 percent from 3-point range and 40.0 percent overall. Vanderbilt forces 29.0 turnovers a game, so Carnegie has to protect the ball against the Commodores’ pressure.

She averaged 17.4 points last season and shot 64.7 percent. Heiden also averages 5.3 rebounds.
