IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa State (23-15) continued its winning ways with a 2-0 Cy-Hawk victory over Iowa (15-19) on Tuesday at Bob Pearl Field. The Cyclones are winners of five straight and have won four of their last five meetings against the in-state rival Hawkeyes.

Junior Sami Williams went 3-for-3 with a home run and a double, and also drew a walk to lead the way offensively. Harlan alum Logan Schaben was 2-of-3 at the plate with two doubles and broke up a 0-0 tie with her two-out RBI shot down the left field line in the top of the sixth inning.

The senior pitching duo of Savannah Sanders and Emma Hylen was simply tremendous on the night, combining to surrender just two hits in the shutout win.
