LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Kiera Hardy scored 27 points and Jina Johansen finished with a career-best 16 points and nine assists, leading Nebraska to a 88-59 victory over No. 14 Iowa State on Saturday night.

Nebraska (15-8, 7-4 Big 12) raced to a 24-point lead in the first period and stayed comfortably ahead in front of a season-high crowd of 12,429 at the Devaney Center.

Megan Ronhovde scored 12 to lead Iowa State (18-4, 8-3). Katie Robinette and Lyndsey Medders each added 10 points.

The 29-point victory was Nebraska’s largest winning margin over Iowa State since an 88-49 victory over the Cyclones in 1994. Iowa State had won 13 of the last 14 meetings between the two teams.

Iowa State will face Oklahoma State at Hilton Coliseum Wednesday before hitting the road for another two-game road trip.

• Anne O’Neil was held to seven points on 3 of 9 shooting, her lowest point output of the year. She scored zero points twice last year.

• The 29-point loss is the worst this season, eclipsing the 27-point pounding the Cyclones endured on Tuesday to Texas Tech. It was also the worst loss to Nebraska since 1994, when Nebraska beat Iowa State 88-49 in Lincoln. In its three conference losses this season, Iowa State has lost by a combined 78 points.

• Iowa State has lost two games in a row, the first time that has happened this year. The last time the Cyclones dropped two in a row was last year at Kansas State on Feb. 25 and at Missouri Feb. 28.

• Katie Robinette shot 5 for 5 from the field, her new career high in percentage. Her previous high was 9 for 12 — 75 percent — against Murray State on Dec. 30.

• The Cyclones have five games remaining, three of which are at home.
