The Cyclone women earned an absolutely crucial 70-66 victory over the No. 6 Texas Longhorns on Friday night in Austin. Iowa State’s furious push toward an NCAA bid over the past month set the stage for a matchup against Texas on Friday that felt like a tournament play-in game.
With the victory over the Longhorns, the Cyclones (17-11, 8-9) have now won four straight Big 12 games for the first time in four years. Seanna Johnson led the way for Iowa State with 22 points and six rebounds, Bridget Carleton added 18 points, and Jadda Buckley scored 14.
