By Jessika Harkay | Sports Writer

GREENSBORO, N.C. – After sweeping the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament, there’s one thing standing in the way of the Lady Bears’ path to the Final Four — the No. 2 seed Iowa Hawkeyes and their ESPNW Player of the Year, center Megan Gustafson.

The big point of discussion at this NCAA Regional has been the post matchup between senior centers Kalani Brown and Gustafson and forwards Lauren Cox and Hannah Stewart.

In their Sweet 16 matchups, Gustafson and Stewart combined for 23 rebounds and 43 points in a 79-61 win over North Carolina State, while Brown and Cox had 24 rebounds and 35 points in the Lady Bears’ win over South Carolina.
