#4 Nebraska (8-1 overall, 0-0 Big 12) at #11 Iowa State (7-1, 0-0 Big 12)

Conference competition kicks off this week and the Huskers will be tested against #11 Iowa State in a match to be nationally televised on ESPNU. The match will be played in the Ames High School because the August flooding in Iowa damaged Hilton Coliseum. I heard today that they are borrowing the sport court that Nebraska uses at Devaney to make it more appealing for national TV.
Nebraska leads the all-time series 77-1, with Iowa State's only win coming in Lincoln last season, but head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch, who was the setter on Nebraska's 1995 National Championship team, has done a great job building this program. The Cyclones have not lost a match since their opener against Florida, and swept nationally-ranked Northern Iowa last weekend. The Cyclones' defense can frustrate opponents, and libero Ashley Mass is one of the very best in the country and was a first team All-American last season. OH Victoria Henson was also an All-American last year (third team). OH Rachel Hockaday, who had 18 kills against the Huskers in the Cyclones' victory last year, is out for the season with a torn ACL.
