TOP QUOTES
Paul Jobson on the game…
"It's great to get back in the win column. We were just saying that three points don't come easy in this conference. It doesn't matter who you're playing on either end of the table it's always going to be a tough match. They earned every bit of that tonight. Iowa State did a great job defensively and I thought they had some chances. Jen (Wandt) came up big once or twice, we always say she doesn't have to do a lot but she stays in the match and makes saves when she has to. I thought we were very good defensively. Mack (Mackenzie Anthony) scored two fantastic goals tonight."

Mackenzie Anthony on the game…
"[Physicality] is nothing I'm not used to, definitely got some bruises, but I'll be alright. We definitely did [put pressure on Iowa State], I feel like that's something that is one of our strengths, is the ability to just push at them and scare them, in a way."

Ally Henderson-Ashkinos on the midfield…
"Our midfield, we hype each other up about [our role], we tell each other 'man, we have the hardest job on the field, and we should feel so proud about that.' We get to just pour out for our team, we don't get to score that much, we don't get to assist that much, we don't get to make those big plays that get put on NCAA and ESPN, we don't get that all the time, but that's OK, we're totally fine with that. We have the culture of 'it takes everybody,' and it takes us winning a ball in the midfield to get it up to the forwards to score more, so yeah, we pride ourselves on being the unsung heroes. We're happy about that, we love that."
