Following the match, other players were asking teammates how it had ended, too. The one thing the team was certain of was that it had beaten Texas to finish second in the Big 12 Iowa State lost in Austin, Texas, in five sets on Oct. 17. After leading the Longhorns 2-0 at intermission, the Cyclones dropped the next three sets and fell to 10-7 on the season. “We remembered the feeling,” said outside hitter Rachel Hockaday.
Fresh off of a win at home against No. 3 Texas on Saturday night, the No. 15-seeded ISU volleyball team learned Sunday afternoon it will be hosting the first and second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Cyclones (20-7, 13-3 Big 12) will be playing I-P Fort Wayne on Thursday night at Hilton Coliseum. Also coming to Ames as a part of the first and second round will be California and North Carolina. ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch was “thrilled” when she learned of Iowa State’s position in the tournament. “I felt like we had a shot, but even beating Texas, I really didn’t know if that would happen,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think this team just did some tremendous things the last month and a half. I credit the team and their perseverance and what they were able to do the last couple months of the season.” Iowa State is currently on a 10-match winning streak with its latest loss coming against Texas in five sets back on Oct. 17. Middle blocker Jamie Straube said the Cyclones winning out was a big factor in hosting. “We knew that our chances weren’t as good for hosting if we didn’t win out the second half of Big 12 and keep our attendance up,” Straube said. In 2011, Iowa State was able to host the first and second round of the NCAA Tournament and have the opportunity to travel to Minneapolis, where it would reach the Elite Eight before losing to Florida State.

Texas takedown Regular-season ender finds Cyclone victory over No. 3 Longhorns By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com With the fourth-largest crowd on its feet at Hilton Coliseum, it was a blur as the ball sailed over the line. The match-point lifted No. 18 Iowa State (20-7, 13-3 Big 12) to a win
against No. 3 Texas (23-4, 15-1) in five sets on Saturday. It was only the fourth victory versus the Longhorns in team history, and the team’s second top-5 win of the season. Leading 14-13 with Texas serving, senior Jamie Straube tipped the ball over the net, and the Longhorns’ Bailey Webster hit it long to secure the Iowa State win. After the match, players were wondering what happened. “I think I blacked out, literally,” said libero Kristen Hahn.

As the search for the next dean of the College of Engineering continues, it is critical the selected candidate attends to not only the interests of the institution but to its students as well. “I would like the future dean to have a strong value and appreciation for making personal connections with individuals,” said Kate Klavon, junior in agricultural engineering and president of the ISU chapter of the American Society of Agriculture & Biological Engineers. Klavon said an ideal dean would serve as a liaison between industry and the university. “The College of Engineering is filled with talented students with a wide range of knowledge and interests,” Klavon said. “Promoting what our students are capable of to [the] industry would be something all students would appreciate.” Austin Dorenkamp, junior in com-
