The Iowa State softball team returns to Big-12 play with a doubleheader at Oklahoma on Friday. The Cyclones are 13-10 overall and 2-2 in conference play after splitting a doubleheader with Missouri on Tuesday. Fourth year coach Ruth Crowe has an experienced team that has blended in a solid group of freshmen.The program has made strides the last three years and Crowe feels while the start has been pretty good, they actually were expecting more success at this point. She says it’s a matter of quickly turning the corner now that they’re playing a tough conference schedule.After the doubleheader at Oklahoma, the Cyclones visit an Oklahoma State team that Crowe says has also been nationally-ranked this spring.
