“Getting a split anywhere in the conference is hard to do,” ISU Head Coach
Chad Teichert said. “If you could get a split on every road trip, you'd be in a pretty good position. UM is a good team and they played solid ball. It's not easy to win on the road and after getting the loss last night, our team showed a lot of character to get the win tonight.”
Junior setter Lori Mendenhall also recorded a double-double with 54 assists in the contest and 18 digs. Mendenhall also posted one service ace, four kills and one block.
