Iowa State Women's Basketball: Time to Shine

By: Rachel Rodriguez
Get ready, ladies and gentlemen, because Iowa State women's basketball is back with a vengeance! As an avid fan, I can't contain my excitement as we embark on a new season filled with promise and potential. The team, led by the inspiring head coach Bill Fennelly, has been quietly working and preparing for this moment, and I'm confident they're ready to make a splash.
First and foremost, let's talk about the amazing Ashley Joens. This talented forward is a force to be reckoned with. She's got a killer crossover, a sweet shot, and the determination of a warrior. Watching her play is like witnessing a whirlwind of energy and skill. With her as our captain, anything is possible.
Another player to watch is the sharpshooting Kristin Scott. Hailing from nearby Cedar Rapids, Scott is a true Cyclone through and through. Her three-pointers are like arrows straight from Hawkeye Central. I'm looking forward to seeing her light up the scoreboard and make the crowd go wild.
But it's not just about individual players. This team has a deep bench filled with talented athletes who are hungry to prove themselves. The combination of returning stars and promising newcomers creates a dynamic and exciting roster that's ready to take on any challenge.
I can still remember the roar of the crowd as the Cyclones clinched the Big 12 Tournament title in 2021. It was a moment of pure joy that sent shivers down my spine. I believe this team has the potential to reach those heights again, and I'm going to be there every step of the way to cheer them on.
The upcoming season promises plenty of exciting matchups. From rivalry games against in-state foes to battles against top-ranked opponents, the Cyclones will have their work cut out for them. But I have faith in this team. They have the talent, the determination, and the unwavering support of Cyclone Nation.
So mark your calendars, Iowa State fans. The journey begins soon, and I can't wait to see what this special team accomplishes. Let's fill Hilton Coliseum and witness the magic unfold. It's going to be a season we'll never forget.
Go Cyclones!
