No. 23 Cyclones Fall to No. 5 Texas in Austin
10.14.2017 | Volleyball
AUSTIN, Texas – No. 23 Iowa State fell to No. 5 Texas 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-18) Saturday night inside Gregory Gymnasium. The loss dropped ISU to 12-4 overall on the season, 3-3 in Big 12 play. Texas improves to 14-2 overall and continue to lead the Big 12 at 6-0.
The Cyclones were held to a .121 hitting percentage while Texas fired to a .323 hitting clip. The ISU effort was led by nine kills, four digs and three blocks from Jess Schaben. Hali Hillegas led the Cyclone backrow with 16 digs.
Set One: Texas 25 Iowa State 16
Texas went on a 6-1 run to make a 9-7 lead into a 16-9 Horns advantage. Struggling to slow down the UT attack, ISU switched over to a 6-2, which did yield some early results to help cut Texas' lead to 18-14. However, the UT block smothered the ISU attack, as the Cyclones were rejected five times at the net and restricted to a .103 hitting percentage. UT took a 1-0 lead when Jess Schaben sent her back-row attack wide at 25-16, Longhorns.
Set Two: Texas 25 Iowa State 17
The two teams traded the first 12 points, but Texas eventually made the breakthrough, going on a 3-0 run to open a 9-6 edge. Again, it was the UT block causing ISU problems, as the Horns stuffed three more ISU shots while moving ahead 14-10. UT opened its lead to six, but they were their own worst enemy as three-straight errors cut Texas' lead to 16-14. The Longhorns pulled back ahead, going on a 7-0 run to make it 23-14, and getting ahead 2-0 when Hali Hillegas serve wide to make it 25-17, Texas.
Set Three: Texas 25 Iowa State 18
Iowa State won the first four points of the set, with the serve of Monique Harris troubling the UT pass. The Cyclones were able to hang onto that four-point edge briefly, but the Longhorns were back ahead soon enough via a 7-0 run that put them ahead 12-9. Iowa State worked their way back to tie it at 13-13, but the Horns were able to stay ahead this time around. The Cyclone offense continued to struggle, as the visitors hit just .184 in the final frame. UT completed the sweep when Ebony Nwanebu fired a kill off the ISU block to make it 25-18.
