Less Gustafson, more success

After a successful season led to an NCAA Tournament berth, the Hawkeyes hope to make an even deeper run in March this year.

By Anna Kayser [email protected]

The Big Ten is arguably one of the best volleyball conferences in the nation, and Iowa will have to grind and fight to make it to the NCAA Tournament this coming season. In 2017, the Big Ten sent eight of its 14 teams to compete in the big show, a feat that Hawkeye head coach Bond Shymansky has been chasing since taking over as Iowa’s leader in 2014. The Big Ten will once again not be for the faint of volleyball heart, and here are the teams that Iowa will have to keep its eye on going into the fall.

1) Nebraska The reigning national champions are on Iowa’s docket twice in the 2018 season, and the Hawkeyes will have their work cut out for them. Coming into the tourney as the No. 5 ranked team in the na- tion last season, and as the lone Big Ten team in its corner of the bracket, the Cornhuskers blew through the competition. They swept the first three teams they faced (all unranked); the first challenge came in the quarterfinals against No. 4 Kentucky. The Huskers dropped only one set. Nebraska’s first real challenge came against No. 1 Penn State. After being down 2-1 going into the fourth set, Nebraska battled to a 28-26 victory before taking the match in the fifth set. It then went on to beat No. 2 Florida for the championship, 3-1. In the 2017 season, Iowa and Nebraska met twice, with the Cornhuskers sweeping the Hawkeyes both times. After losing players through graduation and transfer, Ne- braska put together a group of young talent ranked as the No. 5 recruiting class in the country. That school to the west is going to be a tough one to beat both at home and on the road this season. Iowa will travel to Lincoln on Oct. 3, and the Cornhuskers will be on the visiting side Nov. 7.
