Managed to get to the match on Saturday.

These lady's are good! Long road stretch coming up. Hopefully they make it through unscathed.

It'd be great to see more people get into Hilton. We haven't had many winners at ISU over the past few years. Need to support the ones we got.

Looked like they may have had a recruit in attendance as well. A big crowd might do wonders to sway a youngster who probably doesn't see much of that in high school.

Edit: For the uninitiated - take a close look at the top 11. With the exception of maybe Michigan - that's the who's who of collegiate volleyball. Some lofty company to be part of, for certain.

Boy, this whole "following a team that is ranked" thing is kind of fun!

Keep it up, Cyclones!

I was there on Friday and Saturday. This team is going to be really good. They deserve the support of the Cyclone Family.

Who is UCLA playing with a 2-2 record and still top ten.

Who is UCLA playing with a 2-2 record and still top ten.

According to their schedule, they're 2-1 with the loss coming to Hawaii (swept 3-0).

Although they were also 9th last week....

Seems like a few of these teams will have to forget they have a match for them to lose position.

Meanwhile, Nebraska gets pounded 3-0 by Michagan and wins 3-2 to Minnesota - IN OMAHA - and only falls 3 spots from 3rd to 6th.
