Hundley was one of 26 Industrial Engineering students to earn a 4.0 in the fall 2018 semester at Iowa State.

"Evan has been a stellar student-athlete from day one," head coach Duane Sorenson said.

She has a tremendous work ethic and has earned everything that she has achieved in her four years as a Cyclone."
