The Mean Green (5-3) used the biggest inning by an Iowa State opponent this year to go up 7-1 after a six-run third inning. North Texas had four hits and took advantage of two errors by the Cyclones in the inning.
Iowa State got three back in the top of the fifth to cut into the lead. Kelsey Kidwell brought home Carrie Monroe with a ground out and Courtney Wray doubled to left field to score Bianca Lopez and Anna Bortz, trimming the deficit to 7-4.
The Cyclones threatened in the top half of the seventh inning as Bianca Lopez and Kelsey Kidwell reached base to lead off the inning. The threat took a big hit as Carleigh Berry lined into a double play to retire Lopez at second. Wray popped out to short to end the game and the Cyclones' three-game winning streak.
Charissa Carlin (4-1) started for the Cyclones and took the loss. Carlin gave up seven runs, one of which was earned, in 2.2 innings. Rachel Zabriskie kept the Cyclones alive in relief, giving up no runs in 3.1 innings and striking out four.
The Cyclones had just three hits in the game, one of which came from Sydni Jones. Jones' hit streak is now at a career-best eight games.
Jennifer Smith (3-1) got the win for North Texas.
Iowa State will return to action Saturday at 10 a.m. against Central Arkansas.
