There was a three-set loss in front 6,000 plus fans at the McLeod Center on Wednesday to rival Iowa State, followed by a pair of four-set losses to Washington State Friday and Saturday.
It would’ve been a tough week to swallow for head coach Bobbi Petersen if it hadn’t been for what she saw in Saturday’s loss to the Cougars.
“The biggest concern for us came on Saturday when you have two tough losses like that at home,” Petersen said. “Definitely we were a little bit tired and banged up, and obviously a week where we did not get a lot of practice time coming off the road trip we had.
