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.

The 51st @MarchMadnessWBB coach to reach 600 wins with one program!!
