CYCLONE NOTEBOOK
1. The Iowa State Soccer team (2-11-2, 0-4-1 Big 12) will face its third-consecutive nationally-ranked conference foe this weekend at the Cyclone Sports Complex, taking on No. 18 West Virginia (8-3-3, 4-1-0 Big 12) on Friday at 7 p.m. The match will be televised live on Cyclones.tv.
2. The Cyclones are looking to rebound after back-to-back heart-breaking 2-1 losses on late goals vs. No. 13 Texas and No. 24 Baylor. UT's Kayra Dollas scored a game-winning goal with less than four minutes remaining in regulation on Friday, and Baylor's Taylor Moon notched a golden goal in double overtime on Sunday.
3. Courtney Powell scored her team-leading third goal of the season against Baylor to give the Cyclones a 1-0 lead early in the second half. Powell collected a beautiful pass on the run from forward Klasey Medelberg and slotted her shot past the BU goalkeeper in the 48th minute.
4. Medelberg recorded two assists over the weekend, also connecting with fellow forward Kassi Ginther for a game-tying goal against Texas. Medelberg is tied for second on the team in assists with three, and is second in total points with seven.
5. Due to injuries, as well as the emergence of talented underclassmen, head coach Tony Minatta trotted out his youngest starting lineups of the season against TCU & Kansas. The Cyclone starting XI included six sophomores and a freshman in both matches. 55 percent of Iowa State's minutes this year have been played by underclassmen.
6. Midfielder Emily Steil is enjoying the best year of her career as a senior. The native of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., assisted on both of Iowa State's goals at TCU, making it the second multi-assist match of her career. Her 11 career assists are the most by an active Cyclone since 2013 (Emily Goldstein - 14), and currently place her at T-No. 7 on Iowa State's all-time list.
7. Not known as a prominent goal-scorer, Steil leads Iowa State with nine points on the year, and is tied for the team lead with two goals. Steil and her midfield parter Kasey Opfer, who also has two goals, have been dangerous in the air, consistently winning headers on set pieces for the Cyclones.
8. The Cyclones earned a point during the opening weekend of Big 12 play during a road swing through Texas. ISU earned a 2-2 draw against TCU on Friday to open conference action before a 3-0 loss to Texas Tech in Lubbock on Sunday. The point earned vs. TCU could prove valuable, as the Cyclones missed a bid to the 2017 Big 12 Championship by just one point a year ago.
