“We let the team rest up last week, but we opened this week with intense practices on Sunday and Monday, and I believe the team is ready for any challenge that may present itself this weekend,” coach Jason Butts said. “We will see a few lineup changes this weekend, but nothing drastic. I’m excited to see a few new routines in competition.”
Friday is the ninth meeting between the Mountaineers (2-2, 0-1) and the Cyclones (6-2, 0-1) and the teams’ seventh as conference foes. Despite ISU’ 3-4-1 all-time series edge, WVU earned the advantage in 2015, going 1-0-1 against the Cyclones, including a 195.
