Syracuse Volleyball wins a tight 3-2 game against Iowa State

On this side of the court, it was Syracuse’s Anastasia Nikulnikova who recorded her 13th kill of the match, that point also being the last. SU once again takes care of business, defeating Iowa State three sets to two.SU head coach Bakir Ganesharatnam said in order to win this game, it took a lot of resilience. The game of volleyball is about rhythm, right, you know, and it can change really fast based on runs. You can go or stop. We felt like, I mean, the fourth set, I didn’t think we did anything bad. We had maybe more unforced errors than the sets before and that might have been the difference and we knew if that happens, we have the control, you know, we can fix that easily. It’s not so much what Iowa State did, right? I was looking at these stats and it’s like they had more kills than us, had more digs than us, had more blocks than us, and like had more total points, but it’s like we won, like Greta said, like we just beat them with our heart, to be honest, like it was like crazy to do, but it can happen. I think like, like I think our whole team is just so, so, so happy about this win. Syracuse still has one more match this weekend, tomorrow at two against Cornell. The Big Red are another tough opponent with a six and two record so far this season. Reporting from the Women’s Building, Josh Solomon, Citrus TV.
