In addition to their record 16-1 overall start, the Cyclones are 5-0 to open conference play for the sixth time in school history, with all six victories occurring under head coach Bill Fennelly.

Lexi Donarski's scored 23 points, including five 3-pointers making her one of the Cyclone's key players and marking her fourth 20-point game of the season.
"We made our free-throws, that's a big thing for us," Fennelly said. "We've always been a big free-throw shooting team."
