Texas Tech volleyball still remains in the hunt for an elusive Big 12 win under first-year head coach Tony Graystone after a five-set (25-19, 20-25, 17-25, 25-23, 12-15) loss to Iowa State at United Supermarkets Arena on Friday night.
Tech (10-17, 0-12 Big 12) came out aggressively in the opening set, leading as much as 16-9. Iowa State, as they did much of the match, were only scoring off Red Raider errors and hitting a paltry .114 as Tech slapped a .237 average and soared to a 25-19 set victory.
Notably, Iowa State (14-9, 6-5 Big 12) had seven errors to Tech’s six, contributing to a match that was won with the other team’s technical issues in service and positioning.
