The first week of the season is officially in the books for the Iowa State women’s basketball team. And the Cyclones are right where they were expected to be. Ninth-ranked Iowa State improved to 3-0 with an 84-56 victory over Southern at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.

The eighth-ranked Iowa State women remained unbeaten Sunday, rolling past Southern in another early non-conference affair.  Audi Crooks, a preseason All-America

Few of those strategies tend to work, but the byproduct of that added attention affords skilled forward Addy Brown more open looks, which she fully took advantage of Sunday in the No. 8 Cyclones’ 84-56 women’s basketball win over Southern before a crowd of 10,097 at Hilton Coliseum.

AMES - A busy opening week for the Iowa State women's basketball team comes to an end Sunday. The ninth-ranked Cyclones will take on Southern on Sunday at 2 p.m. CT at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State opened the season with wins over Chicago State and Indiana State earlier in the week.
