Pierce paces Oklahoma with 162 kills (2.84 kpg) while Hoyt is averaging 2.33 digs per game. Woods leads the team with a .215 hitting clip and 0.81 blocks per game. Junior Jessica Barney has served up 27 service aces (0.47sapg), which ranks fifth in the Big 12 Conference while averaging 9.26 assists per game.

The Cyclones are led by Mandi Harms, who has posted a team-high 139 kills (2.96 kpg) followed by Brittany Dalager who has registered 132 kills (2.81 kpg). Dalager also leads ISU defensively, averaging 3.87 digs per game. Steph Suntken paces the Cyclones with 60 blocks (1.8 bpg) and a team-best .253 hitting efficiency.

Following the match with Iowa State, the Sooners have one day of rest before playing host to Kansas State on Friday at 7 p.m. at the Howard McCasland Field House. Proceeding the match with the Wildcats, fans are invited to stay for "Late Night With Sooner Basketball." Late Night is scheduled to end at 11:30 p.m. and admission is free. Tickets can be picked up at the OU ticket office or at any Norman or Moore Arvest Bank.
