Part 2/4:
New Leadership for the Cyclones
One of the primary storylines heading into this matchup is the presence of Jan Jensen, who is taking to the sidelines for her first Cy Hawk game as head coach of Iowa State. While this is a new experience for Jensen, it appears that her predecessor, Bill Finley, has left a strong foundation. Finley acknowledges the efficacy of Iowa's program, attributing it to their consistent winning experience. He notes that the players are not just experienced; they are accustomed to clinching victories at a high level.
