AMES, Iowa – Iowa State topped Truman State in exhibition Wednesday night with a 20-point victory of 88-68. Four Cyclones scored in double figures while two solidified double-doubles.
The Cyclones, without returners Emily Ryan and Nyamer Diew, had a burst of scoring in the second quarter and never looked back to seal the victory. Kelsey Joens led the game with a 20-point performance, totaling 20 on 6-of-8 shooting from the field and making five triples on just seven attempts. Addy Brown (16), Audi Crooks (14), Jalynn Bristow (10) joined Joens to make for four in double-figure scoring.
Bristow and Crooks notched double-doubles, grabbing 12 and 11 rebounds, respectively.

Iowa State began to stretch a lead on a 17-0 run featuring back-to-back triples by Joens as ISU pulled ahead 34-15.

Brown and Joens drained shots from deep to begin the second half hot. Brown then hit another from beyond the 3-point line with 5:55 on the clock to put the score at 49-35. Joens also remained dominant, making her fourth 3-pointer on only six attempts with just over three minutes to go in the third. Crooks followed to muscle in the layup to join Joens and Brown in double figures as the Cyclones went on to take a 67-45 lead to the fourth.
The Cyclones continued to control the game as Brown totaled ISU's ninth shot from beyond the arc, keeping ISU's advantage to 20 points (74-54).
