Cyclone Quick Hits
- The Iowa State women's basketball team (17-11, 9-8, Big 12) takes on No. 2 Baylor (28-1, 17-0 Big 12) on Sunday, March 8 at 12 p.m. on FSN on Senior Day. The Cyclones are looking for their first win against the Lady Bears since 2015. Iowa State will honor its four seniors, Adriana Camber, Inés Nezerwa, Jade Thurmon and Nia Washington following the game.
- Sophomore Ashley Joens, has turned heads so far into her sophomore campaign. Recently she was named to the Naismith Midseason Top 30 list and the Cheryl Miller Award Top-10. Joens is currently averaging a double-double with 20.7 points and 11.0 rebounds and has claimed a league-high five Big 12 weekly honors.
- Joens has 579 points so far this season, which ranks sixth all-time in ISU history. She needs 15 more to move into fifth, Bridget Carleton (594, 2018) and 26 more to move into fourth all-time (Angie Welle, 2001, 605).
- Joens is currently first in the Big 12 in scoring and eighth in the nation, averaging 20.7 points per game, while her 11.0 rebounds ranks third in the Big 12 and 13th nationally, the most of any guard in the league. Joens remains the only player in the NCAA averaging over 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds. Joens is also the only player in the Big 12 ranking in the top-5 in points and rebounds for the season.
- Joens also has a knack for getting to the free-throw line, as she leads the nation with 213 fouls drawn. As a result, she ranks third nationally in free throws made (180), and third-nationally in free throws attempted (220).
- Junior Kristin Scott has put together her best season as a Cyclone, and was named a Top-10 Finalist for the Lisa Leslie Award, which honors the nation's best center. Scott is currently second on the team in scoring, averaging 14.2 points. Scott is also second in rebounding, averaging 6.9 boards per game. Scott has kicked things up a notch since the start of Big 12 play averaging 15.3 points and shot 50.0 percent from the field in Big 12 action.
- Joens and Scott have been one of the best one-two punches in the Big 12 and for that matter the nation, with both Scott and Joens named to WBCA Top-10 lists. Iowa State joins Baylor, Oregon, Arizona, UConn, Texas A&M, Oregon State, South Carolina, Texas and UCLA with multiple student-athletes represented.
- Both Scott and Joens are nearing in on 1,000 career points. Scott has 962 points in her career, while Joens has 979. Joens is on pace to become one of the fastest players to 1,000 career points. Stacy Frese achieved the feat in just 61 career games and Jayme Olson did it in 66 games. Joens has played in 63 games for ISU, but would be the first sophomore to reach 1,000 points. Kentucky's Rhyne Howard is the only active sophomore in the NCAA with over 1,000 career points.
