WACO, Texas – Iowa State (19-10, 10-6 Big 12) lost 52-67 at No. 19 Baylor (24-5, 14-2 Big 12) Saturday afternoon.

How it Happened
Right out of the first media timeout, Iowa State tied up the game for the third time at 8-8 but the Bears followed with a 7-0 run. Kelsey Joens then stopped the run with a wide-open 3, making it 15-11 with 1:29 left in the first. That score would hold into the second.
Baylor held ISU scoreless for the first two minutes of the frame as the Bears extended a lead of eight. With the score at 21-12, ISU brought things back within four after an Alisa Williams and-1 but BU's Felder responded with back-to-back 3s preventing the comeback to continue. At the half, Baylor led 33-23.
The home team kept its lead at 10 midway through the third with a score of 41-31. With four minutes on the clock, Baylor opened up its largest lead (46-31) on the Bears' sixth 3-pointer. That advantage would grow to 19 heading into the final quarter.
Crooks continued adding to her single-season field goal record going 3-for-3 to start the fourth quarter as the scoreboard read 61-47, while Baylor would go on to win it by 15.
