IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Megan Gustafson scored 27 points and pulled down 12 rebounds and No. 25 Iowa defeated Drake 79-66 on Thursday night. The double-double was Gustafson’s 11th this season and 39th of her career. She came in averaging a double-double of 21.8 points and 12.3 rebounds this season.

Makenzie Meyer matched her career high with 21 points and had seven assists, while Alexis Sevillian, moving into the starting lineup after Tania Davis’ season-ending injury on Sunday, made four 3-pointers for her 12 points. The Hawkeyes (12-1) had 25 assists on 30 field goals.

The Hawkeyes won their fifth in a row and have victories over Iowa’s three other Division I programs this season, including Iowa State and Northern Iowa.

Iowa State holds off Maryland-Eastern Shore 55-49

Sports

December 21st, 2017 by admin

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Cameron Lard scored 15 points, Donovan Jackson had 12 and Iowa State held off Maryland-Eastern Shore 55-49 on Wednesday for its ninth consecutive victory.

Nick Weiler-Babb had seven points, 12 rebounds and six assists for the Cyclones (9-2). They had just seven players available after senior Hans Brase sprained his ankle in practice on Tuesday.

Seven guys proved to be barely enough against the Shore Hawks.

Iowa State scored the first 10 points and, to its credit, never trailed. But the Cyclones were far from crisp early, and Maryland-Eastern Shore (3-10) was even worse in the first half — shooting just 7 of 32 and falling behind 34-17.

Iowa State continued its sloppy play in the second half, finishing with 17 turnovers and allowing a 12-0 run that let the Hawks get within nine with just over six minutes left.

Ahmad Frost had 19 points to lead Maryland-Eastern Shore. The Shore Hawks, who shot just 29 percent, have dropped five straight.

Mitchell, Shaw headline signing day for Cyclones

Sports

December 20th, 2017 by admin

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State signed 18 players to letters of intent Wednesday, including quarterback Re-al Mitchell and wide receiver Sean Shaw Jr.

Mitchell threw for nearly 3,000 yards and rushed for 1,000 in 2016 and was considered one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks out of Bellflower, California. Shaw caught 40 touchdowns in his prep career in Jones, Oklahoma.

The Cyclones dipped into the junior college ranks for safety Greg Eisworth and punter Cory Dunn.

Iowa State signed a trio of Iowans as well, led by Creston lineman Trevor Downing.

The Cyclones (7-5) wrap up 2017 by facing Memphis in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 30.
