- After a midweek bye, the Iowa State volleyball team begins a challenging five matches in 15 days stretch Saturday with a noon showdown against TCU at Hilton Coliseum.
- The Cyclones are coming off a three-set loss at then-No. 10 Kansas. The Cyclones had a solid evening, hitting .232 and out-digging KU 49-to-37, but Kansas were able to prevail via a .279 hitting percentage and five service aces.
- The Cyclone offense was once again led by Morgan Kuhrt, who had 12 kills. Kuhrt has led or has been tied for ISU's lead in kills in the last four matches, after playing mostly in the back row for the past three weeks.
