Sophomore Whitney Hooper netted both goals in the second half against the Huskers and sophomore Kelly Dyer earned her fourth shutout in goal. Hooper's two scores were a career-high and the first marked her second game-winner this season.
Iowa State travels to College Station after a 1-0 win against Illinois State on Friday. Adrianna O'Neill scored the lone goal of the contest in the first half to improve the Cyclones to 5-7-1 overall and 0-3-1 in the Big 12.
