ISU Snaps No. 6 ASU's 12-Match Streak
10.31.2025 | Volleyball
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (18-4, 8-3 Big 12) handed No. 6 Arizona State (18-3, 9-1 Big 12) its first Big 12 loss and ended ASU's 12-match win streak in a fierce five set battle by set scores of 17-25, 25-17, 29-27, 22-25, 15-12. It is ISU's second-straight ranked win and 11th Top 10 win in program history.
The Cyclones' victory also snaps Arizona State's 26-match conference win streak, while ISU handed ASU just its second Big 12 loss in the Sun Devils second year in the conference. ASU entered the match with losses only to No. 7 Pitt and No. 2 Texas and six ranked wins.
This is ISU's third ranked win of 2025, and highest since the win over No. 1 Texas in 2022. Christy Johnson-Lynch now owns 47 Top-25 ranked wins.
Four Cyclones hit double figure kills, led by Maya Duckworth with 16. Tierney Jackson stuffed the stat sheet with 15 at .407 hitting, six digs, three blocks, an ace and an assist. Nayeli Ti'a had a double-double with 12 kills and 11 digs, and freshman Reagan Hanfelt had 10 kills and .353, five digs, three aces and a block.
Star libero Rachel Van Gorp had 18 digs through the match, while defensive specialist Annalise Grant had a career-high 10.
SET ONE
Tierney Jackson put down the first kill of the match and Iowa State held the lead until ASU took it at 5-4. Iowa State called a timeout after an ASU run of five (7-4), and Duckworth ended that run with a kill. Arizona State kept with the lead as the scoreboard reached 15-9, while the Cyclones followed with a successful challenge to stay within five. Duckworth made it a three-point set (18-15) with her fifth kill on eight attempts, but the Sun Devils took over from there winning the frame 25-17.
SET TWO
Duckworth laid down a big kill to make it 2-0, and ISU remained up after a Cyclone block to make it 6-3. ASU followed tying it at 8s, while Duckworth put down her seventh without an error right after. ISU found a three-point edge of 13-10 after an Alea Goolsby kill, leading to an ASU timeout. An ace by Jackson at 17-13 stretched a run of three to cause another timeout by the Sun Devils. The Cyclones won the race to 20 while ASU held 14, and found set point (24-16) on kill placed by Ti'a. ASU fought it off once, but the visitors hit an attack error next to seal it in the Cyclones' favor.
SET THREE
ASU responding after dropping a set hitting a 4-0 run to lead 11-7. ISU then brought it back within one after a Jackson tip kill, but the Cyclones weren't done there extending a run of six to lead 12-11. It was back-and-forth to follow, and Duckworth tied it up twice late in the set with kills, including one to make it 19-19. ASU took the next two to force an ISU timeout, while ISU brought it back to a tie at 22s following another Jackson kill, and again tied it on the next point after Ti'a found the floor. Ti'a put down another to extend the set (24-24)
SET FOUR
Ti'a went back-to-back with kills to make it 2-1 to start, and put down two more as the score was brought to 5-5. Jackson went back-to-back with kills twice, as ISU went on its way to make it 14-9. Arizona State responded trimming the deficit to the (15-14) as ISU called its first timeout. ASU flipped the lead at 18-17, and had a serve just fall over the net for an ace to go up two. ASU reached 20 on an ISU attack error, prompting an Iowa State timeout. The Sun Devils pushed on, forcing a fifth with a set score of 25-22.
SET FIVE
Duckworth kept her dominant night going, hitting kill No. 16 to put ISU ahead 6-4. Iowa State held the lead of 8-6 as the teams switched sides after a kill by Hanfelt, while Hanfelt followed that with an ace. Jackson and Amiree Hendricks-Walker teamed up for a huge block to send the crowd to its feet, moving the score to 11-8. Moments later, Ti'a and Jackson had two-straight kills, and ASU called its final timeout at 13-9. ASU took a late 3-0 run, but Jackson capped the match with a final kill at 15-12.
