(Radio Iowa) – The 15th ranked Iowa State women built a nine point lead early in the fourth quarter Wednesday night, and beat number-12 Iowa 77-70 to snap a five game losing skid in the series.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly. Ashley Joens had 26 points as the Cyclones improve to 9-1.

Fennelly says the Cyclones made the key plays down the stretch to earn their first win in the series since 2015.

Caitlin Clark led Iowa with 26 as the Hawkeyes fall to 5-2.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. The Hawkeyes connected on just under 41 percent for the game, including nine of 27 from three point range.
