The ISU ticketing situation is a mess because they moved
to the Ames High School after the flood.
They are trying to sell all their tickets as season passes.
Reliable ticket info is sketchy at best.

Hey it's me again. :D
Yeah, in order to guarantee a spot at any of the Cyclone Volleyball matches, the only way is to buy a season ticket, for like $35 or something like that. Since, we were moved to Ames High School, the capacity is only ~2000. Last year we averaged 2700 fans/match.
However, I'd say since this is a tournament, they will probably leave so many seats for the general public. Not sure what visitors would do for a ticket to this...

Ouch.

5-0 ISU in the fourth set.

10-1 ISU
12-5
15-9
16-10
20-10
23-15
25-17

Nice rally by the Bison at the end of the set, but too little too late. Cyclones take the match 3-1. I guess they're ranked #12 in the country for a reason.

Lots of holes in the defense this weekend.
Saw some different player combos, too.
A couple of the new girls got on the floor, mainly J. Kissman.
There's plenty of work to be done to make improvements.
As of right now, we won't go undefeated in the conference.
Good news, Bison were the only team to take a set from ISU.
Bad news is that in the first set, our hitting percentage was zero.
At Drake; Bison weren't in the first two sets. They looked good in
the third, then stumbled in the fourth.
