AMES, Iowa – Iowa State has added a match to its volleyball schedule, ISU announced Wednesday. The Cyclones will travel to Omaha on Saturday, March 27 to take on Creighton in a 4 p.m. match at D.J. Sokol Arena.

The Cyclones and Bluejays have been familiar foes over the years, as this will mark the fifth-straight season the two programs have met. The last meeting came in the 2019 NCAA Volleyball Championship First Round in Minneapolis, which the Bluejays won 3-0. The two teams last met in Omaha in 2018, with the hosts picking up a 3-1 win that day.

Creighton, No. 24 in this week’s AVCA Top 25, currently own an 8-2 overall record, 5-1 against Big East competition. The Bluejays are coming off a 2-0 weekend at Butler and make a trip to Kansas State this weekend prior to taking on the Cyclones next Saturday. The match will serve as Creighton’s final tune-up before hosting the Big East Tournament Apr. 2-3.

Iowa State’s next scheduled match will be at home on Friday, March 26 against Wayne State. The match at Hilton Coliseum will start at 4 p.m.
