The Lowdown

After one week off, the Iowa State Cyclones (5-1, 0-0 Big 12) hosted the Stony Brook Seawolves (3-5 , 0-0 American East) in their sixth non-conference matchup of the season. The Cyclones played a tight game with the Seawolves but came out on top 74-64.

The Seawolves jumped out to an early lead, starting the game with a 12-5 run. The Cyclones quickly rallied, however, and were able to take a two-point lead by halftime.

The second half was more of the same, with neither team able to take control of the game. The Cyclones were able to pull away in the final minutes, however, coming up with a pair of 3-point plays.

Nikki Moody led the Cyclones in scoring with 24 points, a career best for the senior. Seanna Johnson and Jadda Buckley followed Moody with 19 and 13 points respectively.
