COLUMBIA, Mo. – Lauren Mansfield hit on 5-of-8 3-point attempts and finished with a season-high 21 points to lead Iowa State (14-8 overall, 5-6 Big 12) to its fifth win in six, 65-52, over Missouri (10-12 overall, 0-11 Big 12) at Mizzou Arena.
Mansfield’s trio of second-half threes kept Missouri at bay, as the Tigers could not get closer than 12 points in the second half after trailing by 17, 39-22, at the half. Mansfield added a career-high eight rebounds for the Cyclones.
Chelsea Poppens had 11 points and 10 rebounds, her league-leading 11th double-double this season. Chassidy Cole had two points and a career-high 11 rebounds for Iowa State.
The Cyclones went inside during the first portion of the first half. Three straight successful jumpers by Anna Prins and two buckets by Poppens were part of a 16-2 run that put the Cyclones up 21-7 with 8:06 left in the half. The Cyclones poured in four more 3-pointers, the last from the corner by Kelsey Harris with 58 seconds left in the half, as Iowa State led by as much as 19 in the first half.
While making 6-of-10 3-point attempts in the first half, Iowa State was holding Missouri to 25 percent shooting from the floor. Kyley Simmons and BreAnna Brock had 14 points each to lead the Tigers.

Iowa womens basketball coach Lisa Bluder is hopeful that Jamie Printy will be ready for the start of next season. The junior suffered a season ending knee injury last week in a victory at Wisconsin.

The game begins at 7-p.m. Iowa will also host Michigan State, at 2-p.m. Sunday. A 6-5 Big Ten record and 14-10 overall mark this week, gives the Hawks a chance to boost their post-season hopes.

Sheriff’s officials in Adams County didn’t have to go far to make an arrest Wednesday night. Authorities say they arrested 41-year old Jodie Hastings, of Corning, outside of the Sheriff’s Office in Corning, after Hastings crashed her vehicle into two vehicles on Davis Avenue, just after 10-p.m. The vehicles were legally parked in front of the Sheriff’s Office.
One of the vehicles belonged to a magistrate, the other to an Adams County dispatcher. Hastings was taken into custody for Operating a motor vehicle While Intoxicated, and Operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license. She was booked into the Adams County Jail and held pending a court appearance.
The National Weather Service is changing how it measures the depths of Iowa’s waterways, which also means a change in how much water will be needed to prompt the issuing of flood warnings. Senior hydrologist Jeff Zogg says they’re shifting 44 of the 47 river forecast points across the state’s mid-section. “The reason we’re changing the flood stages and the flood categories across central Iowa is to give our flood warnings more meaning,” Zogg says. “We want to be sure that when we issue a river flood warning for a given location, that it actually means that something is going to occur.” The National Weather Service office in Johnston serves 51 counties in central Iowa. He says the changes will impact about 30 rivers and streams across that area.
“Over the years, due to mitigation activities, locations that may have been affected at a given stage are no longer impacted,” Zogg says. “That requires us to raise the flood stage and the flood categories.” Almost all of the changes in river forecasting markers are being moved upward, meaning, a warning won’t be issued now until floodwaters reach a higher point. “Many people have probably become used to us issuing river flood warnings for levels that don’t have much impact,” Zogg says. “Going forward, the flood warnings we do issue will definitely have more impact. They’re keyed in to impacts to life and property in the locations we do flood warnings for, so, they definitely need to pay attention to these flood warnings.” Zogg anticipates the changes will mean a 50-percent reduction in the number of flood warnings the office issues this next year, versus previous years. The National Weather Service is scheduled to release its annual flood forecast for Iowa next Thursday, February 16th. Learn more about the changes at www.weather.gov/dmx.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court will set up shop in Council Bluffs on March 7 to hear oral arguments in two cases. The court, which usually meets in Des Moines, has been holding more sessions away from the capital city in an effort to demonstrate how the legal system works. In announcing the Council Bluffs appearance Wednesday, Chief Justice Mark Cady noted the court traveled to three communities last year and saw a strong turnout of spectators.
Cady’s push to make the court more open to the public followed a 2010 vote in which three justices lost retention elections after social conservatives campaigned against the court’s unanimous 2009 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in Iowa. The Council Bluffs proceedings will be at the Arts Center of Iowa Western Community College.
