The Cyclones were able to open the game up early on offense, putting three runs on the board in the bottom of the second inning.

Sami Williams also singled later in the inning to plate two more runs.
Junior Sydney Stites then smashed a lead-off home run to left center in the third, as the offense continued to produce. With two outs in the inning, and Antillon and Carter on the corners, the Cyclones pulled off a double steal, with Antillon coming to score again. Taylor Nearad picked up an RBI double on the ensuing at-bat to extend the lead to 6-0.The Cyclones tacked on three more runs in the fourth, aided by two Warrior errors, and another in the sixth on an RBI double by Williams, scoring Stites, as ISU led 10-0 through six innings.
Iowa State then exploded for 12 runs in a wild seventh inning that included 12 base hits, four doubles and ended with the Cyclones leading 22-0. Williams launched a bases-clearing, three-RBI double in the frame, followed by a two-RBI double by Sally Woolpert.

Game two was another combined shut out, as this time freshman starter Julie Lewis teamed up with senior Brianna Weilbacher to stymie the Indian Hills offense. Lewis, aided by a strong defensive effort, pitched the first five innings, giving up no runs and just two hits. Weilbacher entered and cleaned up in the final two frames, allowing just one base runner on a walk.
Offensively, freshman Bryn Hanrahan helped jump-start things in the bottom of the third inning, with a lead-off single down the left field line.

Bosworth later collected an RBI on a ground-out, scoring Stites, to give ISU a 4-0 lead at the end of the inning.
The Cyclones generated two more runs in the fourth inning on just one hit, thanks to double steal that scored Hanrahan from third, followed by another run by Konz on an Indian Hills fielding error.
