The ISU volleyball team’s 3-0 sweep of Baylor on Saturday continued the recent trend of a balanced Cyclone offensive attack.

For the first time all season, no ISU player was in double digits in kills with Carly Jenson, Hannah Willms and Tenisha Matlock tied with eight kills a piece.

“Balanced offense can be good and we’re seeing that some nights. Depending on the night, we’ll have some people step up,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch at her weekly news conference Monday. “But I do think that great teams have someone that can carry the load and be kind of the go-to every night.”

Jenson leads the team in kills with 3.77 kills per set while attacking at a .248 clip and has taken the most swings of any Cyclone, racking up 648 total attempts.

Middle blocker Jamie Straube is second on the team in total attempts at 335.

Over the past three conference matches, those numbers have evened out, with opposing teams often serving to Jenson in an effort to keep her out of the offense.

While Jenson is still taking more swings than any other Cyclone player, her hitting percentage in those three matches dropped to .193.

“I hope as the season continues, we’ll be able to find the person for us that will really be able to terminate and carry a huge load offensively,” Johnson-Lynch said. “[Jenson] is doing that for the most part, but we’re going to need some people who can put the ball away even against two blockers.”

One player that has recently emerged both offensively and defensively is sophomore middle blocker Tenisha Matlock.

Over the past two matches, Matlock has been attacking a .391 clip and has amassed two solo blocks and 12 block assists.

“[Matlock] is a tremendous athlete, she really is one of the best athletes I’ve seen,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s exciting to think about where she can be in a year or two, but she is developing into one of the best middle blockers in the Big 12 and maybe even the country.”

The No. 15 Cyclones (15-3, 6-1 Big 12) will be back in action this Saturday in College Station, Texas, to take on Texas A&M (15-4, 4-2) at 6:30 p.m.
