09.15.2016 | Volleyball
AMES, Iowa - The Iowa State volleyball team continues its challenging non-conference schedule this weekend at the Marquette Invitational in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Cyclones will take part in two matches, starting on Friday at 7 p.m. against hosts Marquette. ISU will then take on Missouri State Saturday at 11 a.m. Both matches will be played at the Al McGuire Center on the campus of Marquette University.
Tickets to the match can be bought online now through Marquette (click here), or the day of the matches at the Al McGuire Center. Single-match tickets are $5, but Marquette is offering an all-sessions ticket for $8 that will give fans access to all matches of the Marquette Invitational.
Iowa State's match on Friday against Marquette will be streamed live and for free via Marquette's MUTube. Fans can access the live stream here. There will be no live video of Missouri State-Iowa State.
Live stats for both Iowa State matches are posted on the Iowa State volleyball schedule, here.
The Cyclones will be looking to get back on winning track after suffering a five-set loss at UNI in one of the longest scoring matches in college volleyball history. The two teams combined to score 249 points, the highest combined points total in a Division I match since sets moved to 25 points in 2008. The second set went 40-38 to the Panthers, the longest and highest-scoring set in ISU program history.
The road for the Cyclones does not get any easier this weekend. Marquette, who will be having its home opener against the Cyclones, already has wins at USC and at Kentucky in 2016. The Golden Eagles swept ISU in Hilton Coliseum last season and are once again led by reigning Big EAST Player of the Week Taylor Louis, who is averaging 3.97 kills per set in 2016.
Missouri State also has two ranked wins to their name in 2016, winning at Illinois in week one, and taking down Ohio State last weekend at home. Two of the Bears' three losses have come at the hands of top-25 teams in Hawaii and UCLA. MSU is led by Lily Johnson, with the junior outside hitter averaging 4.14 kills per set and 3.21 digs per set.
