The Iowa State volleyball team will open up their 2022 spring slate in Atlantic. The Cyclones will host Omaha for a match on Friday night at 7:00 p.m. at Atlantic High School. Atlantic Head Volleyball Coach Michelle Blake said that Iowa State reached out with the idea and they figured out the logistics to make it happen. Coach Blake shared what the schedule will be like for the match.

The match is being played in memory of former ISU volleyball manager and Atlantic graduate Nathan Vert who passed away unexpectedly this past December. Nathan’s family will be recognized at the match. Nathan was a classmate of Coach Blake at AHS and she said he just loved being active.

The match is free to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Former St. Albert standout Allie Petry is a member of the Cyclone squad and Brynlee Arnold of Glenwood is joining the team at Omaha so their will be some local playing connections as well. There will be a streaming option as well for those that can’t make it.

No concessions or any monetary fundraisers are allowed due to NCAA rules, but fans can just come out and enjoy a good night of volleyball and camaraderie.
