Iowa State Claims Victory Over In-State Rival Iowa

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State (2-3-1) women's soccer defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes (2-3-2) on Thursday night 2-1. The win over the Hawkeyes was Matt Fannon's first Cy-Hawk victory and it was the program's first win over Iowa since 2018.

The Cyclones jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half after Senior Jada Colbert found the back of the net twice. Colbert's two goals was the third time in program history that a Cyclone netted two goals versus the Hawkeyes and the first time since 2004.

Senior goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz recorded a career-high 12 saves in the contest. Silkowitz nearly recorded her second shutout of the season until Iowa connected on a penalty shot in the 84th minute. A few last attempts by the Hawkeyes came up short before the match ended.
