Valparaiso at Iowa State

AMES, Iowa (Interstat) — The Iowa State women’s basketball team, off to a dominant 3-0 start, looks to continue its winning ways when it hosts a struggling Valparaiso squad on Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum.

The Cyclones have overwhelmed their early opponents, winning each game by at least 27 points. They are coming off a 99-34 rout of Sacred Heart on Sunday, where Audi Crooks scored 21 points and Addy Brown nearly recorded a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds. Iowa State’s offense has been potent, averaging 89.7 points per game.

Valparaiso (0-2) seeks its first win after opening the season with two lopsided road losses. The Beacons fell 78-48 at Detroit on Saturday. Fiona Connolly was a bright spot in that contest, leading Valparaiso with 19 points and nine rebounds.

The matchup pits one of the nation’s highest-scoring teams against a Valparaiso defense that has allowed an average of 85 points through its first two games.

Following this game, Iowa State hosts Norfolk State on Sunday. Valparaiso returns home to face Milwaukee on Nov. 16.
