Iowa State held a 17-point lead over North Carolina but was unable to hold onto the lead late. UNC got hot late and the Cyclones couldn’t buy a bucket. Sad.

Stephanie Soares led the way with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Ashley Joens poured in 18 points and snagged 9 boards. Emily Ryan finished with a season-high 10 assists.
