Game of the Week: #12 Iowa Western def. Iowa Lakes, 78-70
Iowa Western (14-0, 5-0) looked to continue its winning streak to start the 2025-26 season on Wednesday when it traveled to Estherville to face Iowa Lakes (2-12, 0-5). The Reivers did just that, winning 78-70, but the victory was far from easy.
The first half was a back-and-forth battle throughout the opening 20 minutes. There were six lead changes, and the underdog Lakers pulled ahead by six to take a 31-25 halftime lead.
Iowa Lakes carried that momentum into the second half. Cooper Harris hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to propel the Lakers to their largest lead of the game at 10 early in the half. Iowa Western responded by going on a 19-10 run over the next five minutes to cut the deficit to one with 12 minutes left. Iowa Lakes held the lead as the teams went shot for shot until the six-minute mark, when Iowa Western took the lead and did not give it up the rest of the way.
Iowa Western's strong second-half shooting led it to victory, as the Reivers shot 50% from the field, 50% from 3-point range and 88% from the free-throw line after halftime. Judah Vignery took over in the second half, scoring 20 of Iowa Western's 53 points in the period. He finished with a game-high 27 points. Zayden Best added 14 points for the Reivers.
Iowa Lakes spread the ball around all night, with four players scoring in double figures. Dominic Preiser led the way off the bench with 14 points on an efficient 7-of-10 shooting. Iowa Lakes outrebounded Iowa Western 39-26, and Steven Martinez grabbed a game-high 13 boards.
Iowa Western closes the calendar year as a major force in the ICCAC, sitting atop the conference undefeated. The Reivers travel to Fort Dodge on Saturday, Jan. 3, to open 2026 against the Iowa Central Tritons.
Iowa Lakes will look to pick up its first conference win in a home matchup against Western Iowa Tech on Saturday, Jan. 3.
