AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (3-12, 0-6 Big 12) fell to Oklahoma State (12-1-3, 5-1-1 Big 12), 3-0. The Cowgirls were led by Grace Yochum who netted a hat trick for OSU.

Iowa State got its offense going in the second half, firing off six of their eight shots on the day. Kassi Ginther had three, Hannah Cade had two and Brooke Miller, Courtney Powell and Lauren Holleran all had a run at the Cowgirl net.

Turning Point of the Game
Oklahoma State took advantage of earlier opportunities of each half. Yochum's first goal of the afternoon same in the seventh minute. Her second came in 47^th minute just as the second half was beginning.

Cyclone Game Ball Goes To…
Ginther had three very good looks at net late in the game. Her three shots all came in the last 15 minutes of the second period. Her best look of the day came on a ball played in by Tavin Hays, in which Ginther got loose behind the Pokes' defense. Ginther took a shot from about 10 yards out and watched it ricochet off the right post.

Coach Speak
"You can't give (goals) away in the first five minutes of the half to the No. 15 team in the country," head coach Tony Minata said. "If you just look at the game itself and how hard we fought and opportunities that we created, it's frustrating to fight so hard and not be rewarded for it. We deserved a goal today."

The Cyclones hit the road for their final regular season road trip of the season next weekend. Iowa State will take on Texas Thursday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m., and will wrap up the weekend at Baylor on Oct. 27 at 1 p.m.
