FOUR THINGS
3 – 3-pointers needed by Ashley Joens to become Iowa State's all-time leader in career 3-pointers. Joens enters Saturday's contest with 285 career treys, two behind the school record currently jointly held by Heather Ezell (2006-09) and Megan Taylor (1998-01) at 287.

27 – Lexi Donarski needs 27 points to become the 33rd player in Iowa State history to reach 1,000 career points.

54 – Career double-doubles for Ashley Joens, tied with Angie Welle (1999-02) for the most in school history and fourth in Big 12 Conference history.

872 – The Cyclones have made at least one 3-point field goal in an NCAA-record 872 consecutive games, a streak which encapsulates the entirety of the Bill Fennelly Era at Iowa State.

FEELING FRITZ-Y
Denae Fritz went off against No. 25 Villanova in Iowa State's last game for a career-best 13 points, which included a 3-for-3 effort from 3-point range. For her efforts, Fritz was named that week's Big 12 Freshman of the Week.

THANK YOU BEA!
On Thursday, Iowa State center Beatriz Jordão announced she would be medically retiring from basketball due to persistent injuries in her lower left leg. Jordão, a fifth-year senior in her second season at ISU after three years at USF, will continue to be with and around the Iowa State program for the remainder of the season, including on the bench during home and away contests.
