Iowa State announced on Dec. 10 that Beaty will miss two weeks with a lingering foot injury. The guard had already missed her team’s Dec. 7 game against Northern Illinois.
The 5-foot-8 native of Jamestown, Tenn., has made a substantial impact during her freshman season, averaging 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
She’d gotten considerable minutes backing up and playing alongside starting point guard Jada Williams. Beaty gave Iowa State another strong ball handler, a great defender and intensity off the bench.
