AMES, Iowa - Brittany Dalager had a team-high 18 kills and Renae Pruess added 15, but it wasn't enough as Iowa State fell to Baylor, 3-1, Saturday night at Hilton Coliseum. Dalager and senior Dana Koziol were ISU's defensive leaders with 17 and 24 digs, respectively. With the loss, Iowa State falls to 7-5 overall and 0-2 in Big 12 play. Tisha Schwartz led the way for Baylor with 17 kills and 13 digs. Baylor's record improves to 7-6 overall and 1-1 in Big 12 play.
Baylor had a slight edge on the match offensively, hitting .275 from the floor and collecting 65 kills to Iowa State's 62. However, the Cyclones held the advantage defensively, with 56 digs to 52 Baylor digs. Both teams had 10 total team blocks.
Freshman Katie Jessen had 11 kills and Katie Kruenegel and Ashlie McWee had eight kills each. Sophomore Amanda Craig had 20 assists and four digs.
Game one was all Iowa State as it hit a hot .241 from the floor compared to .100 from Baylor. Dalager had three kills and McWee and Jessen also had three kills. Senior Lindsey Chapman had eight assists. Dalager added four kills as ISU won game one, 30-23.
The game was played pretty evenly in game two as ISU had 16 kills to Baylor's 18. The Bears held the defensive edge with 16 digs to ISU's 14. The difference was in the hitting percentage. Baylor hit a solid .317 to ISU's .262 to win game two, 30-26. Dalager again led ISU with six kills and three digs. Pruess added three kills, one dig and one assist and freshman Katie Churm added five kills in the Cyclone effort. The two teams went into the lockerroom with a 1-1 tie.
In game three, it was again pretty even as ISU held the slight offensive advantage with 17 kills to Baylor's 16. The Cyclones outdug the Bears, 19-17. But Baylor hit .262 to ISU's .200, and won game three by a slim margin, 30-27. Pruess had eight kills and five digs and Dalager had four kills and three digs. Koziol added six digs.
Iowa State played well in game four, having the kill advantage, 17-16, and the dig advantage, 11-10, and hit a solid .333 from the floor, but the Bears only had two hitting errors and hit .467 to win game four, 30-26, and the match, 3-1. Dalager had five kills and three digs in the Cyclone effort.
"I'm a little disappointed in how we played tonight," head coach Linda Crum said. "I thought we needed to play with a little more fire than what we showed tonight. We broke down in a couple of areas and lost points and rallies. But I thought we played well in areas. I thought we hit pretty well and both of our setters (Lindsey Chapman and Amanda Craig) did a great job for us in different areas when they were in the match."
The Cyclones return to action on Wednesday, Sept. 24, when they play host to No. 8 Nebraska at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Neb., starting at approximately 7 p.m. The match is part of a doubleheader with NAIA schools Bellevue University (Neb.) and College of St. Mary (Neb.), who will begin play at 5 p.m.
