Iowa State Cyclones Host Eastern Illinois Panthers

The Iowa State women's basketball team is set to host the Eastern Illinois Panthers on Sunday at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones enter this matchup as a 2-0 squad, having previously defeated Grambling and Nicholls in their opening week games. In contrast, Eastern Illinois sits with a record of 0-2 after losing away games against Drake and No. 10 Iowa.

Iowa State is highlighting its strong rebounding performance ahead of the game, averaging 56.0 boards per contest to rank sixth nationally. Freshman Tjaša Turnšek has emerged as a key player for Ames, recording double-doubles in her first two collegiate games with significant contributions in points and rebounds.

The broadcast will be available on ESPN+ featuring BJ Schaben and Molly Parrott, while radio listeners can tune into the Varsity Network App. The Cyclones aim to maintain their home court advantage against a visiting team currently struggling on the road.
