Volleyball Dominates Hawkeyes in Road Sweep
CORALVILLE, Iowa – After a tight first set, Michigan State volleyball dominated sets two and three in a 3-0 (27-25, 25-13, 25-14) sweep over Iowa on Sunday afternoon at Xtream Arena.
“We stayed composed in a tight first set and continued to execute our gameplan,” said Michigan State head coach Leah Johnson. “That allowed us to really break things open in sets two and three. We’ve invested in being better as a group these last two weeks and you’re seeing that pay off in the results.”
MSU increases its winning streak to three, improving to 11-16 (4-12 B1G) while Iowa falls to 10-18 (4-12 B1G). The Spartans are back in action at the Breslin Center next week with home matches against Oregon (Thursday, Nov. 17) and Maryland (Saturday, Nov. 23).
