Chessa Purser and Kim Cypert led the Red Raiders each earning two shots on goal. Texas Tech controlled the ball for most of the second half. They out shot the Cyclones, 10-6, but was unable to score a goal.
"After beating nationally ranked Missouri on Friday night we came into Ames and played like we were owed a victory," said head coach Neil McGuire. "Too many players completely shut down after they scored their goal and actually stopped trying for long periods. We fully deserved to lose. We need to grasp the magnitude of each and every game in this conference."
The Red Raiders (5-7, 1-3) went 1-1 this weekend in Big 12 action. Iowa State improves to 6-7 overall and 2-1 in conference. Tech defeated No. 17 Missouri on Friday night in Columbia, Missouri, 3-1.
