THE SERIES
Kansas State and Iowa State have an all-time series dating back to 1979. The Wildcats own a 34-13 record over the Cyclones during that span. Iowa State's home record against K-State is 6-14, including the Cyclones' last win in the series, a 4-2 victory in Ames in 2012.
This is the second meeting of the season for the Cyclones and Jayhawks. In the first match, Kansas came away with a close 4-3 win against an Iowa State team playing without No. 2 singles player Maty Cancini. The win improved the Jayhawks' all-time record versus the Cyclones to 47-4. Iowa State will be playing for its first win over KU since a 6-1 victory in Ames in 2012.
CYCLONES MOVING UP
Following two wins against ranked teams last weekend, Iowa State moved up to No. 33 in the latest Oracle/ITA Division l Women's Rankings. It's the highest rank in program history, besting the previous record of No. 41, set earlier this year.
The Cyclones have now been ranked in the top-50 for four consecutive weeks, another school record. Before last season, Iowa State had never been ranked in the top-50.
Thasaporn Naklo and Miska Kadleckova became just the second pairing in program history to be ranked in the ITA/Oracle Division l Double's Rankings, coming in at No. 73. They own the team's best record in dual play at 10-3, including a ranked win in their favor. This is the second time Naklo has been a part of a ranked pairing. She and Christin Hsieh earned the program's first doubles ranking last year.
