MADISON, Wis. — The ISU volleyball team’s Cinderella story just keeps going.

The Cyclones swept the seventh-seeded and eighth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers on their home floor to reach their first ever Sweet 16 (30-28, 30-25, 30-24).

This is the highest-ranked opponent Iowa State has ever beaten and is their third straight win over a team in the national polls.

Seniors Lauren Cummings and Erin Boeve led the march with 14 and 11 kills, respectively, and freshman Ashley Mass had 21 digs in a return to her home state.
