I talked to Arizona's starting middle blockers this week. Also, a quick look at the other 3 teams in this weekend's tournament.

From the Iowa State perspective Sophomore setter Morgan Brandt got valuable experience in a 6-2 last year & is now running the offense. She'll be a good one. Freshman pin Nayeli Gonzales was an early enrollee & looked impressive in the spring. Seems like a typically solid Cyclone squad. Pam McCune & Annie Hatch are other names to watch.

GCU's friday night match has no tickets available for purchase, it's a 'student-only' game as a part of Welcome Week festivities. I don't think I've ever seen that before - it even says there's no tickets for the neutral match of Arizona/Iowa State before the GCU game.

The GCU students were lined up to get into the early match. Not a small line, either. It's a really nice crowd of kids. Other than that, it's reserved for people on the pass list and the GCU student-athletes from what I can tell.

Extremely even first set. ISU ends up taking it 27-25. Both teams had set points.

Can we try Ava at setter? To be fair to Ana, we have her running all over the place but the location isnβt great right now.

Another close one goes ISU's way. 25-22 in S2. Both teams went on runs going up by as many as 4 points. Cyclones better in the big moments.

Rita sees the struggles at setter, too. Kasen Rosenthal takes over for Ana in the third.

What about that? Arizona looked done for. Wildcats have come back to take the 22-21 lead in S3.
