The Iowa State women's basketball team picked up some momentum at the end of the non-conference portion of their schedule by winning their final three games.

Even with the competition kicking up a notch with Big 12 Conference games starting up, the Cyclones haven't slowed down.

Iowa State rattled off its sixth straight victory and improved to 3-0 in Big 12 play with a 80-75 victory over host BYU at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah, on Saturday.

The victory was the 600th career win for coach Bill Fennelly at Iowa State.

Addy Brown scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Cyclones, who are now 10-4. Brown came up with a couple of the biggest buckets of the game.

Brown knocked down a jumper in the fourth quarter that broke a 57-57 tie to give Iowa State the lead. Later in the quarter, with Iowa State clinging to a four-point lead, Brown hit a 3-pointer to give her team some breathing room.

Arianna Jackson added 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field, including 5-of-7 from-3-point range. Emily Ryan chipped in with 11 points and went 5-of-7 from the free throw line with some big makes late in the game.
