And just like that, the Cyclones used a MASSIVE 30-point quarter to take a 47-42 lead into the half. The Cyclones got big minutes in the first half from freshman Denae Fritz who gave the Cyclones the 40-37 lead with just under 2:30 to go in the half with a nice finish at the rim and the free throw to follow. After scoring 17 points in the first 10 minutes, the Joens sisters led the Cyclones to double their point total to 35 in the first 5 minutes and 30 seconds of the 2nd quarter, but the Bulldogs, led by Grace Berg, kept themselves right there keeping a 2-point lead with 4 minutes to go in the half, 37-35. Then came time for the patented Cyclone Second Quarter run. Drake was able to keep pace with the Cyclones and even maintain their lead, 25-17 to close the first frame. The two teams traded blows back and forth with the only real advantage coming when one team missed. The Bulldogs jumped all over the Cyclones to start, going up 10-3 before the Joens sisters (Ashley and Aubrey) rattled off 8 straight points to give Iowa State the 1-point lead. As opposed to previous iterations of this start, however, it wasn’t due to the Cyclones missing shots. The first quarter started out as one might expect this year for the Cyclones, with a small deficit that it seems Iowa State just can’t dig out of. Let’s keep this one going against in-state rival Drake tonight, shall we? Alright let’s go ![]()
