ISU midfielder Emily Goldstein completed a hat trick for the Cyclones on Sunday afternoon as her three goals propelled the ISU soccer team to a 4-1 victory against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.

Iowa State outshot Oklahoma 20 to 11 with Goldstein and freshman Koree Willer accounting for 12 of those shots. Willer also shared space on the statistic sheet with Goldstein by scoring the first goal of the match 24 minutes into the first half.

Willer also assisted Goldstein on two of her three goals. 

In the second half, the Sooners answered the Cyclones and nearly leveled the score at 2-1 before Goldstein put the game away by scoring two second half goals.

With the 4-1 victory, the Cyclones earn their first Big 12 victory and improve to 7-7-2 overall and 1-3-1 in the Big 12.
