BU struggled in the third set and hit a team-low .100 after posting 12 kills with eight errors. Iowa State hit .433 and used late run to push the match into a fourth set, 25-19.

TOP QUOTE #1
Head coach Ryan McGuyre
On the opening set…
"(The first set) was a combination of offense and defense working together. We played really good defense. Iowa State has mixing some things up the last couple of matches. I felt like we were one step ahead and we made the plays. We had shorter rallies in the first set. The defense made the offense look good, and the offense put a little pressure on (Iowa State)."
TOP QUOTE #2
Head coach Ryan McGuyre
On the other sets…
"Our offense slowed down in the second set. The defense was still really strong. We scored points when we wanted to do but not when we needed to. In the third set, both things disappeared on us. We added some errors in the third and fourth set to keep (Iowa State) in it. In the first few sets, everyone was producing, and then we put it together piece by piece after that."
WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears (16-7, 8-4 Big 12) continue Big 12 action with a two-match road swing, first at Kansas State Saturday 6 p.m. CT. The match will air live on ESPN3.
