2025-26 IOWA CORN CY-HAWK SERIES
Iowa State leads this year's Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series, 11-2. ISU has picked up wins in football, volleyball, men's and women's cross country and wrestling this year. The Cyclones could clinch the series with a win in women's basketball on Wednesday night.
JIMMY V WOMEN'S CLASSIC PRESENTED BY MODELO
The 2025 Cy-Hawk game was selected as the Jimmy V Women's Classic by ESPN Events earlier this fall. It marks the first time the Cyclones have played in the V Week contest. The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano, legendary North Carolina State University basketball coach, ESPN commentator and member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The V Foundation has funded nearly $400 million in game-changing cancer research grants in North America through a competitive process strictly supervised by a world-class Scientific Advisory Committee. Because the V Foundation has an endowment to cover administrative expenses, 100% of direct donations is awarded to cancer research and programs.

SERIES NOTES
Wednesday marks the 57th all-time meeting between Iowa State and Iowa and the 21st Cy-Hawk Series game for women's basketball.

The 5-8 guard finished with her first career double-double against Valparaiso (Nov. 12) with 11 points and 10 assists, a career high. Williams pulled down a career-high 10 rebounds against Marquette and added 15 points in the win for her second career double-double.

With a win against Iowa, Iowa State would move to 11-0, the best start since 2013-14 (14-0), the program's top record to open a season.
