Jordan Lewis scored 24 points with six made 3-pointers and 15th-ranked Baylor had assists on 26 of its 32 made baskets.

There was a lot for new Bears coach Nicki Collen to like about her first victory over a ranked opponent, 87-61 over No. 7 Iowa State on Sunday.

"They were all difference-makers, but when Jordan plays aggressive, when Jordan leads ... she kind of she gives this team energy, she gives this team confidence," Collen said. "The thing I’m most proud of is the 26 assists on 32 baskets. That’s what I want our offense to look like."

The Bears (13-4, 3-2 Big 12), who made 12-of-21 3-pointers, might look a little different with former WNBA coach Collen at the helm after 21 seasons and three national championships under Kim Mulkey. But they are still winning.

Queen Egbo had 14 points while setting a career high with 20 rebounds, Sarah Andrews added 18 points with four 3-pointers and NaLyssa Smith scored 17 points for the Bears. Smith had the last seven points of their 19-0 run late in the third quarter that began with two 3s each by Lewis and Andrews.

"That was definitely the knockout punch," said Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly, whose team had won its last two meetings with Baylor.

It was the second loss in five days by the Cyclones (16-3, 5-2) to the No. 15 team. They lost Wednesday at home to Texas, which was tied with Baylor in the No. 15 spot in the weekly AP Top 25.
