HIDALGO, TX, April 5, 2009 - The Iowa Energy continued their season long losing streak, dropping their fourth straight game 101-113 to Rio Grande Valley Sunday. Iowa entered the day one game ahead of Dakota in the D-League's Central Division. That lead may be in jeopardy as the Energy couldn't overcome a 57-33 rebounding disadvantage in the game.

Rio Grande sprinted out to a 19 point halftime lead and were never threatened in the second half as their rebounding dominance and 29 assists paved the way for the easy victory. The Vipers move their record to 21-26 with the win.
Energy standout Othyus Jeffers led Iowa with 25 points while Demetris Nichols added 24 points and 9 rebounds.
Rio Grande Valley was led by former Iowa Hawkeye Kurt Looby, who had a triple-double on the night with 14 points, 22 rebounds and 11 blocked shots.
