Three Down, One to Go
Coastal has won all three of its tournaments heading into the final weekend of non-conference play, and will look to complete the sweep at the Cy-Hawk Series. It is the first time in program history that the Chants have won three non-conference tournaments.
 
Following Coastal, Iowa State holds the second-best record entering this weekend's tournament at 6-3. The Cyclones have won four-straight, including a sweep of the Appalachian Invitational last weekend.
 
Iowa is 5-3 despite a tough non-conference slate. The Hawkeyes picked up a 3-0 win over then-No. 22 Washington State at the James Madison Tournament during the opening weekend of action. Iowa also faced then-No. 16 Washington on Sept. 7, falling in four sets. Most recently, Iowa took two of three matches at the South Dakota Tournament, defeating Wyoming and UC Davis by identical 3-1 scores.
 
Lipscomb is 3-5 following a split against Xavier (W, 3-1) and No. 23 Purdue (L, 1-3) during last weekend's Lipscomb Invite. The Bison had previously won three-straight matches prior to their loss to the nationally ranked Boilermakers.
