Hooray for Audrey Black! She came in and made a difference with 3 key kills on 3 confident swings when they were sorely needed! Same for Harlei Cole coming in and delivering some clutch serves on big points. This has to feel good to win this one. The Hawks were 0-4 last season in 5 set matches. Even if not pretty, should be big confidence-builder to pull this out...and digging deep to fight to do it! Could sure affect how much we have left in the tank tonight against ISU but we'll take the win over a solid Wright State team, right? GO HAWKS! I forgot tonight was Iowa State and Drake tomorrow. Nice home scheduling by ISU to have 1 match per day for their tourney🤣 ISU is playing right into the Hawkeye's hand. Iowa is warmed up and ready to get another W today. On Iowa!

It can only get better, right?? Tough way to start, let's see if the Hawks pickup the intensity

You knew Iowa State couldn't maintain the pace they started with but wow...this one flipped in a hurry

Iowa leads set 3 23-19 only to give up a 6-0 run and lose the set 23-25. SMH!!

Someone explain the setter switch. State is just tooling off the block now. What am I missing?

Did Tessier get hurt? Ortega trying to block front row seems like a difficult task

Tough loss, but It’s still a Hawkeye State - GoHawks

Did Tessier get hurt? Ortega trying to block front row seems like a difficult task i don't know if she was gassed from the earlier match or what but definitely free points with Ortega trying to block.

I was wondering if she got hurt too. I could see a 6-2 maybe. The location looked like it suffered a lot and Toy hit three into the block after being hot.

Iowa State hit .350+ in sets 3 & 4. Hard to win with that & all the service errors. They had their chances to take the match but every critical point they needed went to the Cyclones.

This is bad volleyball. The team struggles to serve, block, and are limited offensively. No reason they should look like this against a mid level MVC team.

Kills and errors. Errors won. Really disappointing weekend after they had Iowa State beat, up 23-19 in 3rd. Major major growing pains.

Hawks sitting at 3-5 with South Dakota St, North Florida, & UNI upcoming. I'm interested to see how they respond after the Drake loss. These are probably their best chances for wins until November aside from two matches against Indiana.
