The Cyclones rolled No. 6 Georgia on Sunday night at Hilton Coliseum in a 67-44 win.

Lexi Donarski led the team in scoring with 20 points on the night, and helped the Cyclones turn an early 9-0 advantage into a 38-19 halftime score.

Emily Ryan broke the program record for assists in a single season, checking out with 15 points and nine assists.
