HOME SWEET HOME
This weekend, Iowa State will be playing its first home match in over a month and a half. The last time the Cyclones were at home, they beat North Dakota, 7-0, back on Jan. 30.
Over the past two seasons, Iowa State has been dominant on their home courts. They're currently riding a 13-match winning streak which dates back to the 2018-2019 season. Its last loss was to a No. 6-ranked Texas squad on Apr. 12, 2019.
Since then, the Cyclones have made history at home, including earning their first-ever win against Baylor and beating Iowa for the first time in 44 years on their way to 13 straight wins.
