Looking Back
The Cyclones went just 1-4 last weekend in Houston, picking up a 6-2 win over McNeese State for their lone win ... the Cyclones played better but still struggled to find their groove at the plate, hitting .169 as a team ... in Iowa State's win over McNeese State, Fallon Johnson went 1-for-2 and equalled a career-high with three runs batted in ... Ashley Killeen connected on her second homer of the season in the game ... freshman Charissa Carlin allowed just three hits in picking up her first career win and senior Katie Reichling got the first save of her career ... Alex Johnson hit her first career home run in the Cyclones' loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
History In Tulsa
The Cyclones went 2-1 at the Tulsa Tournament in 2003, picking up wins over Bradley and Creighton before falling to Portland State ... the Cyclones have never faced Tulsa on its own turf.
In Elite Company
Killeen sits just three RBI shy of Iowa State's career record of 88 ... Erica Martinez (2000-03) also holds the home run record with 27 long balls, but Killeen is within striking distance of that record as well with 16 career homers.
Ransom's Records
Senior hurler Alyssa Ransom's name is scattered throughout the ISU record books ... the Round Rock, Texas native holds at least a share of the record in five categories (saves, games pitched, games started, complete games and innings pitched) ... with 12 more wins she will equal Tammy Rueckert (1978-81), who had 46 career wins.
Scouting North Texas
The Mean Green enter the week 3-10 with a game against Oklahoma set for Thursday in Norman ... North Texas is 0-3 against Big 12 foes this season ... the Mean Green last played on Feb. 21, dropping a doubleheader to Nicholls State ... third baseman Susan Waters leads the team with an impressive .421 batting average, highlighted by a team-high four homers and nine RBI ... Taylor Johnston (.320) and Katya Muller (.300) are both hitting over .300 ... in the pitching circle, North Texas has a 5.37 ERA ... Ashley Lail is 2-3 with a 3.83 ERA and 17 strikeouts ... the Cyclones and Mean Green have never met.
Scouting Kansas
Big 12 foe Kansas sits at 7-5-1 going into the Great Western Downtown Plaza Classic ... the Jayhawks went 2-2 last weekend ... the Jayhawks are led by senior hurler Kassie Humphreys, who boasts a 6-1 record with a 1.70 ERA ... Humphrey's has thrown 49.1 of the team's 83 innings ... Valerie George (0-2, 3.82 ERA) and Sarah Vertelka (1-2, 4.05 ERA) round out the pitching staff ... sophomore catcher Elle Pottorf is hitting .355 to lead the Jayhawks while Amanda Jobe (.321) and Dougie McCaulley (.306) are also above .300 ... KU is 16-19 on stolen base attempts, including McCaulley, who is 5-for-5 ... Kansas leads the all-time series, 40-24, including wins in the last five meetings between the Big 12 schools.
Scouting Tulsa
The Golden Hurricanes, the 2006 Conference USA champion, enter this weekend at 7-9 overall after winning three of four games last weekend ... junior Sara Dyer is hitting .426 and has a team-high 21 RBI ... Dyer's slugging percentage is an eye-popping .851 ... Stephanie Chomick is second on the team with a .420 ... three other players also are hitting above .300 for the Golden Hurricanes, who hit .292 as a team ... Julie Fennell and Jackie Lawrence lead the pitching staff with three wins each ... Fennell has a team-low 1.63 ERA while holding opponents to a .190 batting average ... the Cyclones hold a 2-1 edge in the all-time series, but Tulsa won the last meeting, 7-3, in 1999.
