AMES, Iowa – Stephanie Soares has been named the Cyclone Club Student-Athlete of the Week after an impressive weekend in Portland with Iowa State women's basketball at the Phil Knight Invitational.

Soares matched her career-high with 23 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked a career-high six shots in an 80-49 win for the Cyclones against Michigan State. It was the fourth time in ISU history that a Cyclone has had at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a game.

The Sao Paulo, Brazil native followed that up with another double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, in addition to a pair of blocks, against No. 8 North Carolina Sunday evening.
