CYCLONE HEADLINES
1. Iowa State leads the all-time series vs. K-State, 2-0. The two squads first met on the pitch on Oct. 27, 2017 in a 2-1 Cyclone victory in Manhattan. 2017 was the Wildcats' first season as a Big 12 soccer program.
2. The Cyclones are looking to rebound after a pair of one-goal losses at home over the weekend to No. 18 Texas Tech and TCU. Six of Iowa State's nine losses this season have been by a single goal.
3. Junior midfielder Courtney Powell netted her second goal of the season on Sunday against TCU. The native of La Porte City, Iowa, got on the end of a Claudia Najera cross in the 54th minute and buried it in the back of the net to give Iowa State a 1-0 lead. Powell is now tied for the team lead in goal (2) and ranks No. 2 in total points (4).
4. Najera, a freshman midfielder, has excelled at getting to the end line out wide to the left and sending dangerous crosses into the box. The native of St. Charles, Ill., now has a team-high three assists on the season. Najera assisted on a pair of game-winning goals by fellow freshman Mira Emma (vs. Omaha, vs. SIU Edwardsville), as well as Powell's goal Sunday vs. TCU.
5. Freshman goalkeeper Georgia Wimmer made the first start of her collegiate career vs. TCU, making six saves. Following the match, head coach Tony Minatta praised Wimmer, saying the freshman, "kept us in the game" during a first half in which she tallied four saves.
6. Wimmer was also a bright spot vs. Texas Tech, making four saves off the bench to help hold the Big 12's top offense scoreless in regulation. The Red Raiders entered the match averaging a league-leading 2.6 goals per match. TTU eventually broke through for a golden goal by Sierra Jones in the 108th minute. Iowa State is one of just two teams to hold TTU scoreless in regulation this season.
7. Freshman Abbey Van Wyngarden has been a revelation since head coach Tony Minatta made her one of his starting forwards at the beginning of conference play. Van Wyngarden has tallied a team-high 11 shots over the last three matches, including a career-high seven in Thursday's match vs. TTU.
8. Center backs Carly Langhurst and Taylor Bee both played all 108 minutes vs. TTU, while starting outside backs Shea Sullivan and McKenna Schultz were able to be spelled by emerging freshman Oliva Wee, who has added quality depth at the position. Bee is the long Cyclone that has played all 1,102 available minutes this season.
9. Iowa State's six shots on goal vs. West Virginia tied a season-high (vs. Omaha) and were its most ever in the eight-match series vs. West Virginia that dates back to 2012. The Cyclones had tallied six shots on goal combined in their previous five meetings vs. WVU.
10. Emma, a native of Wheaton, Ill., was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week for her efforts vs. SIUE and Saint Louis. She was the first Cyclone to earn a weekly award from the conference since Klasey Medelberg was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 25, 2016.
11. The offensive prowess of Tony Minatta's freshman class has been on display early in 2019. Including ISU's two exhibition matches, freshmen have accounted for nine of Iowa State's 13 goals. Freshmen have delivered four of ISU's seven regular season goals, and account for all seven assists.
