2020-21 SEASON REVIEW
- The Iowa State soccer team closed out its 2020-21 season on April 10 with a 1-0 victory over Kansas State. The Cyclones end the season with a 3-6-4 record, including a 1-0-4 mark during the 2021 spring campaign.

- Senior Tavin Hays scored the game-winning goal in the 13th minute to lift the Cyclones past K-State. It was the first game-winner of Hays' career.

- Iowa State's season-ending victory snapped a streak of four consecutive draws - the longest such streak in program history. ISU's exhibition match vs. Creighton on March 28 also ended in a draw.

- Iowa State ended the season on a five-match unbeaten streak - the program's longest since 2010.

- GK Jordan Silkowitz tallied her third shutout of the season vs. K-State, and second in Big 12 play.

- Silkowitz ranked No. 3 in the Big 12 in saves (62) and No. 5 in saves per game (4.43).
