2023 Cyclone Volleyball

[cykadelic2]

Reverse sweep, Schmitt seemed to pop in a lot of the plays I read.

Didn't see the match but looked at the box which indicated CJL benched Gonzalez for Schmitt and it turned out to be a great move in flipping the match to ISU's favor.

Hopp's and Schmitt's lines are terrific. Great comeback. Hopp closed Set 3 with two kills to save ISU's rear. Buettner, the TX State transfer, gave ISU fits.

Eh, I don't think so regarding starters being out. That TOE team with Buzzerio (who starred for Pitt's Final 4 team last season) wasn't all that bad but still for ISU to lose in the fashion they did was not good:

Yeah, I had to go back and look. It was Annie Hatch and Avery Rhodes who were out that match (both starters at the time). It wasn't 3-4 like I thought, just seemed like it. And I agree, not good. Thankful we won last night though!

The fact they spotted them two sets makes me a lot more nervous for conference play. Plus I have no idea how good the new teams are.

that and the 3rd set collapses they did last weekend - won't get away with that often in conference play

What is better, a 3 game sweep or a soul crushing come from behind win. I like the latter.

It’s a young team. These pre-conference matches have been good experiences, especially last two. The competition will be getting tougher, let’s hope they carry the right things from it.

You're absolutely right. I get sucked into pessimism as is the ISU tradition. They fought through to get the wins which hasn't always been the case. Brandt as a sophomore is just getting stronger and we have so many excellent hitters that if 1-2....3....4 are having a rough night, CJL can bring in someone with a fresh look and they take over in key moments like Schmitt did last night. And this has been a long stretch of road games and big travel with more this weekend! Big test with Creighton before coming back home.

I don't think Duckworth is back to 100% yet and the team should improve as her health improves.

Here are the B12 teams in the current AVCA Top 25 rankings thru games of 9/4:

7. Texas
8. BYU
14. Baylor
21. Houston
22. Kansas
27. Iowa State
31. UCF

Won the second 25-23. Not sure what’s going on. Tried the Cyclone app’s live stats and it was stuck on 22-20 and a timeout forever.

 

[isulifer08]

Our middles aren't having as much success as they have been lately. Our serving was so tough first set...served a little more passively that second set. Hopefully they can focus in this 3rd and get the off plays dialed in again

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

The only place I could find to watch was a pay-to-watch network I’d never heard of.

Yeah, I paid the ten bucks to watch.

We arent passing great right now which makes our offense predictable and Omaha getting momentum, not what you want to see.

 

[isulifer08]

Well, we got some of the momentum back, but it was way too late. On to a 4th set

 

[StClone]

Nice win 3-1!
