They looked really tired tonight. A bit off.

Just saw the stat sheet from last match. 15 blocks and a bunch of digs won it for them. Great to see the blocks that high. Looks like the offensive numbers need to be better. Final tournament match vs GCU in just a few minutes. Would be a good win and a sweep to both tournaments at home.

Mateo's placement looks solid in warm-ups. Let's hope it carries over to the match.

Hanson wasn't dressed Friday but on the bench. Didn't see her yesterday or today.

The B1G season may not be an enjoyable journey… today was a huge step back…

Where was the team that competed so well against Iowa State? I didn’t recognize any of those players playing for the Hawks.

The B1G season may not be an enjoyable journey… today was a huge step back… This is the year to move up in the standings a bit. Middle to lower half of the league isn't great. Doesn't seem like they'll be able to take advantage though.

Syracuse and Cornell up next. I might have to get a 6 pack of Swarm Ale for these in case they play like last weekend😂. Minnesota to start league play won't be fun. On a positive note...field hockey is #1 & soccer is in the Top 25 as well.

I have to keep my perspective. 2 years ago Iowa wins 6 matches. All the players that had any game are no longer at Iowa. With a complete over haul the level of play is better than I expected. Talent is better too. They had a real chance at sweeping Iowa State. 2 bad losses.
Not sure how much they win this year but I’m more interested than I thought I would be. Especially with the Big 10 not being dominant this year. I see some big wins possible. Wasn’t sure that would be the case before the season started.

Hawks win 1st two sets at Syracuse (25-21, 25-20). Live stats not working. Different approach to line-up today: Moravec, Urquhart and Buettner all playing all 6 rotations! No DS coming in and no true right-side hitter. Things going pretty well. Passing is better thus far without question.

Iowa sweeps Syracuse (25-21, 25-20, 25-15). In set 3, Hawks went back to having Deery on right and utilized Urquhart as DS. No Darling or any other true DS played (other than Dennis at libero). Vesty played the whole 3rd set in place of Davis. McSweeney had great match, both offensively and defensively, which was great to see. Team blocked well and again, passing was much better. However, this was a seriously "understaffed" Syracuse team. Think they may have only had 8 or 9 players dressed. But, good confidence-building type of day for the Hawks and obviously a chance to experiment with a different look on the floor. Cornell, who they play tomorrow, is the only team Syracuse has defeated this year. GO HAWKS!
