Cyclone Headlines
-The Cyclones are coming off an historic series win at Texas last weekend. ISU won two out of three games against UT for its first-ever series win over the Longhorns. Entering the series, Iowa State was 1-48 all-time against Texas. It also marked ISU's first Big 12 series win since April 6, 2013.
-ISU not only stole the series vs. UT, they also stole six bases to bring their season total to 93, breaking the single-season school record of 89 (2013). Cathlin Bingham leads ISU with 20 stolen bases on the season, followed by Kelsey McFarland and Megan Schweitzer with 16 each.
-Freshman Sami Williams broke Iowa State's single-season school record with her 17th double of the season in game two vs. Texas. Williams ranks No. 5 nationally and No. 1 among all NCAA DI freshmen in doubles.
-Williams was named a finalist for the 2017 Schutt Sports/NFCA Division I National Freshman of the Year. Against conference foes, Williams leads the team in batting average (.378), hits (17), RBIs (10), doubles (6) and home runs (3). Williams' slugging percentage in conference play is .711, the best mark among all league batters. Williams also leads the conference in total bases with 32 in 15 league games.
-Emma Hylen emerged with perhaps the finest weekend of her Cyclone career vs. Texas. The sophomore went 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA while pitching two complete games. She allowed just one earned run on 11 hits and racked up six strikeouts. Hylen surrendered just one extra base in the wins.
-Iowa State, which won one Big 12 game in 2016, has now won three of its last four in conference play. The Cyclones were victorious in a 10-9 walk-off thriller in the series finale vs. Oklahoma State, notching their first league win of the season.
-Junior Kelsey McFarland provided the highlight the Cyclone win over OSU, crushing her first grand slam of the season in the bottom of the fifth inning. The shot gave Iowa State its first lead of the series, and was McFarland's third dinger of the year.
-McFarland's junior campaign has been outstanding thus far. The New Prague, Minn. native ranks No. 105 nationally and No. 4 in the Big 12 with a .393 batting average. McFarland leads the team with 59 hits and has stolen 16 bases in 50 games, after stealing one all of last season.
