SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Vanderbilt and Iowa, both ranked in the top 10 late last season, will meet in a women’s basketball game early next season in northwest Iowa, the schools announced Tuesday.

The neutral-site game is set for Nov. 15 at the Tyson Events Center, which is 290 miles from Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City.

Vanderbilt is 4-0 all-time against the Hawkeyes. This will be the teams’ first meeting since 1997.
