WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Brittany Rayburn scored 23 points to lead Purdue past No. 20 Iowa 60-41 on Thursday night, the Boilermakers’ first win over a ranked team in more than a year.

Rayburn made 4 of 5 3-point attempts in her second consecutive strong shooting effort after a lengthy slump. Courtney Moses had 12 points, nine rebounds and six assists for the Boilermakers (16-7, 6-4 Big Ten), who won for the fifth time in six games.

Purdue was 0-3 against ranked teams coming in, and its last victory over a Top 25 squad came on Jan. 28, 2010 at Penn State.

Kachine Alexander had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Hawkeyes (17-6, 5-5), but she made just 3 of 14 field goals.

Iowa entered the game averaging 71 points, but the Hawkeyes shot 22 percent from the field and scored a season-low point total in their worst loss of the season.
