Bill Fennelly has watched Iowa State’s game morph into one that is built on shooting 3s, shooting free throws and the throwing the ball to No. 5.

The ISU women’s basketball coach saw that formula spread throughout his whole team in No. 14 Iowa State’s 85-65 win against William & Mary in Hilton Coliseum at the Cyclone Challenge on Sunday. Brynn Williamson and Jadda Buckley poured in 19 points each to pave the way for the Cyclones (11-0).

“I thought Brynn and Jadda were really good in the first half, really good,” Fennelly said. “With [point guard] Nikki [Moody] in foul trouble, Jadda ran our team. Between the two of them, they had 38 points, seven assists and no turnovers. And those are the two, defensively, that are assigned the other guy’s best players.”

With the win, Iowa State moved to 11-0 and wrapped up its non-conference schedule. The Cyclones had gone undefeated in the nonconference just two times previously — in 1995-96 and 2001-02 — before this season, but know that the work for their Big 12 slate starts right away.

“Coach Fen said to us too, ‘You’re not going to get a banner hung, no one’s going to make a signing saying we did it,’” said Williamson, who scored her 19 points all in the first half. “It’s more of just a pride thing. It’s a really good accomplishment, but we get to enjoy it just for a few more hours and when we wake up tomorrow it’s 0-0.

“It’s big girl basketball when we wake up tomorrow.”

Buckley, who played 28 minutes Sunday, matched her career-high in scoring with 19 points, which is her fourth-consecutive double-digit scoring performance this season. What has been a component of the successful start to the season to the season, Buckley said, is how well everyone has been able to mesh their skill sets.

“I think how we’ve built chemistry out on the floor has been huge,” Buckley said. “We’re starting to read each other really well and know where people are open and I think that’s been a big help for us.”

In Iowa State’s two games at the Cyclone Challenge, Fennelly with every participating coach. Each one praised forward Hallie Christofferson, but said other individual players were still developing in their roles but made up a team that has found success as a unit.

Fennelly has seen the cohesiveness, too, in the team’s ability to be coached and effort in practice, now he is waiting to see how they handle adversity.

“And certainly its pretty easy to be cohesive when you’re 11-0,” Fennelly said. “The mistakes you made weren’t as big and whatever. When you lose a couple, and that’s going to happen, then you find out, but right now life is pretty good.”
