11.25.2018 | Volleyball
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State volleyball season will continue in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC), which was announced Sunday night.
The Cyclones will play at home for the first two rounds, hosting Drake on Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. Should ISU advance, they would play the winner of Bradley and Bowling Green, which will be played Thursday at 4 p.m. inside Hilton Coliseum, in the second round Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Ames.
Iowa State finished the regular season 16-13 overall, including a season-best four-match winning streak to close the season. ISU finished 9-7 in Big 12 play, to finished tied for third in the conference. However, the Cyclones missed out on extending its 12-year run of making the NCAA Volleyball Championship.
The NIVC is in its second season of incarnation after having previously been a competition from 1989-95. Last season's event saw Ole Miss, who ISU opened the 2018 season with, win the title over Texas Tech.
Further details, including ticket information, and how to watch matches, will be announced on Monday.
