LAWRENCE, Kansas – The Iowa State women’s basketball team (17-11, 9-8 Big 12) closed out its 2019-20 road slate with a commanding 61-42 victory over Kansas (15-13, 4-13 Big 12).

Iowa State hit 12 three pointers in the contest to bolster the offensive attack. It’s the seventh time this season, and third time in the last five games, that the Cyclones have hit 10+ threes in a game. The Cyclones also were tidy on the glass, collecting 58 rebounds on the night, which is the highest total on the year.

With the win in Allen Field House, Iowa State has secured a bye in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament next week.
