Moriah Johnson has come full circle in her volleyball career.

As the younger sister of former Iowa State player Hannah Johnson, she watched matches from a seat in the stands at Hilton Coliseum.

Tuesday, she helped Northern Iowa to a five-set win over unbeaten and No. 19-ranked Iowa State. The Panthers topped Iowa State 25-21, 21-25, 25-23, 17-25, 15-11.

"Even when I was a kid, it was me watching (Hannah) from the stands," Johnson said. "It's my turn to play now."

Johnson is seven years younger than her sister.
