ISU Falls at Minnesota in the Second Round
12.06.2025 | Volleyball
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – No. 23 Iowa State (23-8, 12-6 Big 12) ended its season at No. 17 Minnesota (24-9, 12-8 Big Ten) in the NCAA Championship Second Round Saturday night. Iowa State fell in straight sets by scores of 22-25, 21-25, 14-25.
Nayeli Ti'a went out to a double-double with an errorless 12 kills at a .500 clip and 11 digs ending her season with seven double-doubles. Ti'a led the Cyclones in both categories.
SET ONE
Ava Martin served up an ace to make it 4-3 with Minnesota ahead, and the home team was the first to 10 with the Cyclones close behind at 7. Minnesota's Julia Hanson followed slamming down kill No. 7 on 11 attempts, putting the Gophers up 14-9 to cause an ISU timeout. The Cyclones pulled within four after Goolsby's third kill (18-14), and the freshman put down another soon after to make it 19-15. With Minnesota at set point 24-19, ISU fought back with three-straight kills as the Gophers called their second timeout, but Minnesota took the opener on the next play with a block. Minnesota hit at .425 while ISU hit .293.
SET TWO
ISU went up two (6-4) after two straight Minnesota errors while the Gophers took a run of three to get the lead back at 7-6. After a tie at 8s, Minnesota scored five straight forcing a Cyclone timeout. ISU answered with a run of its own, taking four in a row to make it a one-point set (14-13) and cause a timeout by the host. Ti'a slammed down a kill to tie it out of the timeout, while Van Gorp had her second ace of the run to take the lead at 15-14. ISU held onto the lead before Minnesota flipped it at 21-20, and after another Hanson kill Iowa State took a timeout. Minnesota remained with the advantage, winning the second 25-21 on Hanson's 20th kill.
SET THREE
Minnesota again hit 10 first with ISU holding six. Out of an Iowa State timeout, Amiree Hendricks-Walker and Goolsby put up a block to stop a Gopher run. Minnesota continued to control the set running ahead 19-12 hitting at .450 in the frame as ISU took its final timeout. The Gophers went on to seal the sweep on a 6-0 run at 25-14.
