Defenses at Iowa and Iowa State are preparting for new quarterbacks leading up to Saturday’s 70th meeting in Ames. Redshirt freshman Rocco Bech took the majority of snaps in the Cyclones’ 30-9 win over UNI and will get his second start on Saturday.

That’s Iowa corner Cooper DeJean who says one game does not provide a complete scouting report.

Cade McNamara led Iowa to a 24-14 win over Utah State and Cyclone corner T.J. Tampa says they have watched McNamara’s film from Michigan to get ready.

Tampa says they keys against Iowa remain the same no matter who the quarterback is.

Tampa is a native of Pennsylvania and says he has learned to appreciate this rivalry.

AMES, Iowa – McFarland Clinic, Iowa’s largest physician-owned multi-specialty clinic, has agreed to become the first tenant in CYTown, Iowa State University’s multi-use district currently under construction between Jack Trice Stadium and the Iowa State Center.

“We are grateful for the leadership of the McFarland Clinic Board of Directors and Andrew Perry, CEO, for coming alongside Iowa State University to partner on this transformative project for Central Iowa,” said Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard. “McFarland made history as one of Iowa’s first multi-specialty clinics when it first opened its doors some 80 years ago, and we believe its support of CYTown will be equally impactful for the campus community, Ames and Central Iowa for future generations.”

McFarland Clinic is expected to break ground on an anticipated 60,000-square foot multi-level medical facility adjacent to the north entrance of Jack Trice Stadium in the summer of 2024. It will be the first building developed as part of the university’s new 40-acre multi-use district, which was publicly announced in September 2022, and saw construction start in March 2023.

“This partnership is a win-win-win for ISU, McFarland and the communities we serve. This is a convenient location within the city of Ames and helps us fulfill several strategic priorities by improving access to care and opening up additional space for recruitment of new Story County physicians,” said Perry. “We are proud to support CYTown, the university and the economic impact it will have with retail and entertainment offerings.”

McFarland Clinic at CYTown will offer primary and specialty care as well as urgent care. CYTown is conveniently located on campus for ISU faculty, staff and students and accessible by major thoroughfares for patients in and outside of Ames.

When finalized, formal agreements between McFarland Clinic and Iowa State University are subject to approval from the State of Iowa’s Board of Regents.

“The clinic will provide our student-athletes convenient access to orthopedic services including imaging equipment not currently available on campus,” Pollard added. “It will also complement our health center by providing after hours and weekend services. We are thrilled to welcome McFarland Clinic to CYTown.”

ISU President Wendy Wintersteen added, “We are pleased to partner with McFarland Clinic as the first tenant in CYTown. The new medical facility will be a shining example of the innovative approach Iowa State University is taking to enhance our athletics, arts and conference complex.”

McFarland Clinic’s outstanding reputation and the number of individuals receiving care and services in this area will help attract additional businesses to CYTown. It also helps jump-start ISU’s plans to reimagine the Iowa State Center.

“Similar to Dr. (James H.) Hilton’s vision for the Iowa State Center that has impacted the Iowa State and Ames communities for more than 50 years, we believe CYTown will have a similar impact for future generations,” Pollard said.

The university plans to use the revenues generated from CYTown to fund long-needed refurbishments to C.Y. Stephens Auditorium, Fisher Theater, Scheman Building, James H. Hilton Coliseum and the surrounding parking lots. The university also anticipates adding a convention center and hotel that will be accessible for use by the Ames Convention and Visitors Bureau to attract additional conventions and trade shows that will provide year-round benefits to local hotels, restaurants and the City of Ames.

“McFarland has a great history of leadership and selecting locations that play a pivotal role in our community” said Rick Sanders, ISU Research Park President. “Their physician owners invested in our research park at a crucial time in our development and likewise are taking a leadership position in CYTown. We look forward to working with them on integrating the McFarland experience into our Iowa State ecosystem.”

Businesses interested in learning more about opportunities to secure space in CYTown may contact Cushman & Wakefield’s Christopher Stafford by phone (515) 309-4002 or e-mail (cstafford@iowaca.com).

Leading the Cyclones 

Iowa State scored two goals last Sunday against UCSB, marking the second time this season ISU has scored 2+ goals.

Five different Cyclones (Salomé Prat, Abigail Miller, Mira Emma, Kristin Boos and Lauren Hernandez) have goals to their names on the season. Emma leads the team in shots with 12 and she, along with Prat and Miller, has two goals on the year.

Both Emma and Prat have seven shots on goal to lead the team. Emma leads the team in points with two goals and an assist. Four other Cyclones are tied with Emma for most assists on the team with one.

Goalkeeper Avery Gillahan is the lone Cyclone to have played all 540 possible minutes this season, with Chloe Broughton having played just two minutes less at 538.

Scouting Portland State 

After starting the season 0-3, Portland State picked up its first win of the season in its last outing on August 27.

Five different Vikings have found the back of the net on the season, with Abi Hoffman leading the way with two goals scored. Just two Portland State players have assists while, Hoffman (13) and teammate Elle Frazier (10) lead the team in shots.

Portland State has used two different keepers so far this season, with Natalie Cunningham starting in three of the four competitions. Cunningham has 13 saves and a clean sheet to her name on the year.

From the Notebook 

• The Cyclones have lost just one match under Coach Fannon when scoring at least two goals. Two seems to be the magic number for the offense.
• Arkansas State transfer Abigail Miller has already surpassed her 2022 point total in Jonesboro, tallying four points through four games of action (she had three points with ASU in 2022).
• Mira Emma, Salomé Prat and Abigail Miller each have multiple goals on the season. That matches the total number of players who had multiple goals in 2022 for the Cyclones.
• Iowa State leads the Big 12 in shot accuracy, placing 62.7% of its attempts on goal. That’s good enough for the 10th-highest ranking in the country.
• Three Big 12 programs are ranked in the Coaches Poll this week, as BYU is No. 1 in the country, Texas is 17th and TCU returned to the poll, checking in at 25.
• Mira Emma recorded her 11th career assist in the season-opener, pushing her into the ISU top 10 all-time. Emma also moved into a tie for most goals in a Cyclone uniform, scoring her 13th against UCSB.
• After program legend Jordan Silkowitz was drafted into the NWSL, a new face took the net for the Cyclones this past week, as Avery Gillahan handled goalkeeping responsibilities.
  • Gillahan earned Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors on August 23rd for her performances during the first week of the season.

Series History 

Iowa State and Portland State will be meeting for the first time ever on Thursday and it will be ISU’s first trip to play soccer in the state of Oregon. The only other Oregon-based D1 program ISU has played is Portland, who the Cyclones met in Lincoln, Neb., in 2005.

Up Next
