The Iowa State Cyclones came into this game hopeful to flip the script from the last showing against LSU and begin a new win streak. The Longwood Lancers brought hopes of avoiding back to back losses to Iowa schools following their 22 point loss to Drake.
The Cyclones came out with a lineup of Lexi Donarski, Aubrey Joens, Emily Ryan, Ashley Joens, and Morgan Kane. The first few minutes of the game were competitive as Longwood held their only lead of the game with 5:23 to play in the first quarter. Physicality and good free throw shooting helped Iowa State find a rhythm.
