Garrett Kroeger

After a tough weekend, the No. 22 Iowa State volleyball team returned to Hilton Coliseum and defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers in four sets (25-18, 25-18, 24-26, and 25-11) Wednesday night.

During coach Christy Johnson-Lynch’s Monday press conference, she stated that she wanted more out of her outside hitters. She got just that as Jess Schaben and Alexis Conaway led the way for the Cyclones with 18 kills both.

While Iowa State’s outside hitters were on point Wednesday night, so were its middle blockers. Overall, the Cyclones tallied 19.5 blocks against the Mountaineers.

The win over West Virginia puts Iowa State at 13-4 overall on the season and 4-3 in Big 12 play.

The Cyclones will return to the court this Saturday, October 21, to take on the TCU Horned Frogs at home at 1 p.m.
