Iowa State won the first set, 25-8. Onto set two.
I honestly don't know...it sounds like she'll be back for sure.....they might just be resting her in games that we should easily win without her on the floor
From yesterday’s Daily story
Iowa State expects to be without preseason All-Big 12 sophomore Maya Duckworth for the second-straight game, as she is dealing with some nagging injuries and is currently “week-to-week,” according to Iowa State coach Christy Johnson-Lynch.

Well you don't always get what you want, but a 3-0 sweep is always good, even if the last two sets were wanting. Hope our missing pieces are back soon regardless!
Nice sweep again by the Clones.
Morgan Brandt is emerging as an all-conference type of setter not only with her setting but also with her back row digging/passing and front row blocking/dump offs.
I got the drift from the announcers that Englebrecht is also dealing with injury issues in addition to Duckworth but she is going to have a challenge in removing McCune or Hopp from the MB rotation. Both McCune and Hopp provide very good length and athleticism at MB and appear to have an advantage there over last season's MB starters (Englebrecht and Perry). Hopp was recruited as developmental project and it's great to see that development get her in the starting rotation.
And Gonzalez's ability to play well in the back row is a pleasant surprise in addition to her known abilities on the front row. She as well appears to be tracking as a future all-conference type player as well.

pleasantly surprised with what little I have got to watch. Brandt is the real deal so glad her sisters decision did not impact her coming. Wachholz surprised me. Never saw her play club with Vital and High Voltage. They must have been a AAU or JVA club.
