The 21st ranked Iowa Hawkeye women host 18th ranked Iowa State in the 50th meeting in the 50th meeting in the series Wednesday night in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes are 8-1 and coming off their first loss of the season to Tennessee in New York City. The Hawkeyes committed 30 turnovers against the Tennessee press.

That’s Hawkeye coach Jan Jensen. The key against Iowa State will be containing sophomore center Audi Crooks. She averages nearly 20 points and more than eight rebounds per game.

Jensen says the Cyclones have been tested. There losses were to South Carolina and at Northern Iowa.

Iowa State is looking to get the series turned around after dropping seven of the last eight to the Hawkeyes.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly. The Cyclones will be in search of their first victory in Carver-Hawkeye Arena since 2006.

Fennelly says the transition to Jan Jensen at Iowa has been seamless and while the Hawkeyes lost a lot of firepower from last season they have as lot of players who have big game experience.
