Forward Chelsea Poppens recorded a double-double Saturday with 14 points and 11 rebounds. In the win, Poppens surpassed 1,000 career rebounds and is just the second ISU player and 14th in Big 12 history to record at least 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career.

Iowa State shot 46.5 percent from the floor on Saturday while Kansas State shot just 31.5 percent. The Wildcats were led by senior guard Brittany Chambers, who finished the game with 18 points and seven rebounds.

Iowa State will return home on Wednesday, Feb. 27 to face Kansas.
