ISU Sweeps Lipscomb to Open Cy-Hawk Series Tournament
09.19.2019 | Volleyball
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa State (7-3) extended its winning streak to five matches Thursday night, opening the Cy-Hawk Series Tournament with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-13, 25-18) win over Lipscomb (3-6).
The Cyclones put up their top defensive performance of the season, restricting the Bisons to .047 hitting with 12.5 total blocks, Avery Rhodes leading the way with eight. ISU was also strong from behind the service line, notching eight aces with Josie Herbst posting four.
Set One: Iowa State 25 Lipscomb 21
The Bisons offense got the squad from Nashville off to a strong start, as Lipscomb was able to push out to a 14-9 lead. Iowa State worked hard to get back into it, with Avery Rhodes winning a 50-50 ball at the net to get the Cyclones back within one at 19-18. Rhodes and Annie Hatch combined to tie it back up at 21-21, and then did it again to take the lead at 22-21. Out of a Lipscomb timeout, Josie Herbst fired back-to-back kills and then ISU closed out the set with another Hatch-Rhodes combo block at 25-21.
Set Two: Iowa State 25 Lipscomb 13
After finishing the first set on a 6-0 run, Iowa State continued to roll, claiming the first seven points of the second frame. The Bisons hit .241 in the first, but the Cyclone defense raised its game and restricted Lipscomb to -.059 hitting in the second. The Iowa State dominance, which got up to as many as 13 points, allowed the Cyclones to get some fresh faces some playing time. Kenzie Mantz made the most of her cameo, getting a block and finishing off the set with a kill at 25-13.
Set Three: Iowa State 25 Lipscomb 18
Lipscomb came out strong, posting a 5-0 run to get ahead 6-4. The lead was short-lived, as Holthaus got an ace to put the Cyclones back ahead at 7-6. ISU moved ahead by five at 17-12, but the Bisons were able to take advantage of some Iowa State errors and get back within two at 18-16. However, the Cyclones were able to shore up the defense and pull away for good. Iowa State imposed the Bisons with .000 hitting for the set, and closed out the match when Rhodes and Holthaus combined for a block at 25-18.
Player of the Match
Josie Herbst. The Cyclone senior was a two-way threat for ISU. In attack, Herbst finished with seven kills at .368 hitting. At the service line, Herbst fired a career-high four service aces, the most by a Cyclone in a match in 2019.
Up Next
Iowa State is back in action tomorrow against Coastal Carolina. First serve between the Cyclones and the Chanticleers will be at 1 p.m. inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
