Purdue Volleyball: First Round, Iowa State Preview

After finishing 10th in the Big Ten, Purdue (18-13, 8-12) made it into the Tourney on the strength of their RPI-29, big non-conference wins, and the competitiveness of the Big Ten. This is Purdue’s 18th NCAA Tournament appearance, 11th in the last 13 years. Purdue’s best finish has been the regional finals twice, in 2010 and 2013. The program has a 25-17 record in the tournament. Last season Purdue lost in the second round, in four sets, to eventual runner-up Texas.

The Iowa State Cyclones (18-10, 10-6) finished third the Big Twelve behind Kansas and Texas. This is their 12th Tournament appearance, including 11 consecutive.
