The Lowdown

The ISU volleyball team fell to RPI No. 4 Texas on Nov. 2 at Hilton Coliseum in four sets: 25-21, 20-25, 25-13, 25-14.

After falling in a close first set, the Cyclones (11-9, 3-6 Big 12) were able to fight back and claim a set from the Longhorns (16-1, 8-1 Big 12) and tie the match at one set apiece heading into the break.

The second frame would prove to be all the Cyclones had in them, as the Longhorns went on to capture the final two sets with relative ease to remain in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 standings.
