Jess Schaben
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior outside hitter Jess Schaben has been named the Big 12 Co-Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon. Schaben, who shares the title with Oklahoma setter Kylee McLaughlin this week, earned her first weekly award of the season, her second Offensive Player of the Week of her career and her eighth weekly award of her career across all three awards.
Schaben was the catalyst for the Cyclones in the two matches last week. At Baylor on Wednesday, Schaben notched a season-high 26 kills at .344 hitting along with eight digs and four blocks. In Saturday’s 3-1 win over West Virginia, Schaben followed that up with a match-high 22 kills and 18 digs, while also posting four more blocks in the victory.
For the week, the Defiance, Iowa native averaged 6.00 kills per set at .317 hitting percentage, 3.25 digs per set and 1.00 blocks per set. In Iowa State’s last nine matches, Schaben has over 10 kills in every match along with six double-doubles, averaging 4.25 kills and 2.97 digs per set in that stretch.
Schaben and the Cyclones are back in action on Wednesday night at Oklahoma. First serve between the Cyclones and Sooners will be at 7 p.m.
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State continued its undefeated start to the campaign, defeating Northern Illinois 70-60 Sunday afternoon at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones are now 2-0 on the season, advancing to the Preseason WNIT semifinals on Tuesday inside Hilton Coliseum. The Huskies are now 1-1 on the year.
The ISU effort was led by Bridget Carleton, with the senior getting a double-double for the second-straight contest en route to finishing with 21 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. Kristin Scott came off the bench to contribute 15 points, 11 of which came in the first half. All 12 of Madison Wise’s points came in the second half.
How It Happened
Iowa State scored the first six points of the game and did not look back from there. Kristin Scott came off the bench with a strong cameo, running off seven-straight points as part of a 10-0 ISU run which opened the lead to 20-6.
The Cyclones were able to get production in the paint, as 30 of the home team’s 41 first-half points came in the paint. Scott’s 11 first-half points were vital to that, along with Inès Nezerwa coming off the bench to contribute four.
NIU came out of the locker room strong, cutting the ISU lead to single digits at 43-35, but the Cyclones got going from deep, as Bridget Carleton and Madison Wise hit 3-pointers as part of a 10-2 run to bring ISU’s lead back to 53-37.
The Cyclones were off to a slow start to begin the final quarter, which saw NIU cut the home side’s lead to single digits at 63-55. However, Wise put the game out of sight with a 3-pointer and a fast-break lay-up via a coast-to-coast run from Nezerwa to make it 68-55.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns, outplaying Arizona counterpart Josh Rosen and leading the Chiefs past the Cardinals 26-14. Mahomes threw both TD passes to Tyreek Hill, the second giving the Chiefs’ first-year starter the franchise record with 31 this season. Larry Fitzgerald passed Terrell Owens for No. 2 on the NFL’s career receiving yardage list late in the game. He finished with six catches for 50 yards to give him 15,952 for his brilliant career.
UNDATED (AP) — In case you missed it in Week 10 of the NFL season: New York Jets coach Todd Bowles might not last long after a big loss to the Buffalo Bills and a quarterback who hadn’t started in nearly two years.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s offense struggled with turnovers early on, but thanks to its determination to feed the post, the Hawkeyes dominated down low in a 93-82 win over Green Bay on Sunday. Luka Garza and Tyler Cook muscled Phoenix defenders in the paint all game long, as each scored 17 points.
Forwards Garza, Cook, Nicholas Baer, and Ryan Kriener combined to score 54 points, but it was also Jordan Bohannon’s play on the outside that sparked Iowa’s second-half breakaway. Connor McCaffery’s presence at point guard allowed Bohannon to slide over from point to shooting guard, freeing him from primary ball-handling duties and giving him more looks from long-range. Bohannon scored all 13 of his points in the second half, hitting three of his six 3-point attempts.
Defense was Iowa’s Achilles’ heel last season and it showed again. It’s early, but giving up 82 points isn’t ideal for a team that made defense an offseason priority. Iowa’s bench scored 33 points. McCaffery’s squad prides itself on a deep rotation, and on Sunday, that was the case. Baer led the way, scoring 12 points, grabbing six rebounds, and tallying a steal and a block. McCaffery scored 11 points and dished three assists and Kriener added eight points.
McCaffery on playing alongside Bohannon: “He makes shots. I can take my guy off the dribble. It’s good to have two guards on the floor that really handle the ball, know what we’re doing at all times. I think it’s a good lineup. I love playing with him.”
