Iowa State at Drake

DES MOINES, Iowa (Interstat) — The undefeated and No. 5-ranked Iowa State women’s basketball team puts its perfect record on the line Thursday when it visits in-state rival Drake at the Knapp Center.

The Cyclones (5-0) have been dominant to start the season, winning each of their games by at least 27 points. They are coming off a 98-52 rout of Norfolk State on Sunday, a game that saw center Audi Crooks post 19 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, while forward Addy Brown recorded a triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

Conversely, the Drake Bulldogs (1-2) are looking to rebound from a 100-58 road loss to Iowa on Nov. 13. Grace Knutson scored 19 points in that contest for the Bulldogs, who opened their season with a win over Eastern Illinois before falling to Creighton.

The game is a final tune-up for both teams before multi-team events. Iowa State will host Mercyhurst on Sunday before traveling to Florida for a game against Marquette. Drake will head to Nashville, Tennessee, for games against Arkansas and Northern Kentucky next week.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CST on Thursday, Nov. 20.
