MORGANTOWN, W. Va. - Iowa State (4-6, 1-2 Big 12) secured their first Big 12 win this season against West Virginia (1-6, 0-3 Big 12) Sunday afternoon. ISU finished with 195.375, and West Virginia with 194.175. Sunday's score is the third-highest team score of the season for the Cyclones so far.

"We got our first Big 12 conference win, which is really exciting," said Head Coach Ashley Miles Greig. "Really proud of Haylee Hardin with her floor score she just continues to shine; and a great showing from Kaia Bochow as well on bars.
