RED RAIDERS HOST NO. 22 IOWA STATE IN BIG 12 SHOWDOWN SATURDAY Texas Tech battles a top 25 team for the second-straight weekend Saturday morning when the Red Raiders host No. 22 Iowa State in an 11 a.m. match at the United Spirit Arena. INSIDE THE IOWA STATE SERIES Texas Tech will be looking to snap an 11-match losing streak to the Cyclones Saturday as the Red Raiders last win in the series came on Oct. 14, 2006, in a five-set marathon at the United Spirit Arena. Despite the losing streak, Tech still leads the all-time series with Iowa State, 25-20, while both teams are tied at 8-8 when playing in Lubbock. The Cyclones have won the last five contests played at the United Spirit Arena, including a 3-0 sweep on Sept. 24 last year in Tech’s Big 12 opener.
PLAYER TO WATCH #2 Freshman LYDIA McKAY Middle Blocker
Katy, Texas Katy H.S.
Lydia McKay comes into this weekend’s set with Iowa State having reached double digits in kills in five of her last seven contests, including a season-high 11 Tuesday evening at Central Arkansas. The freshman also failed to record a single attacking error against the Sugar Bears off 24 attempts en route to finishing with a team-high .458 hitting percentage. Her 11 kills matched her season high that she had previously notched three times during the seven-match stretch. McKay opened Big 12 play two weekends ago with 11 kills against Kansas to go along with a .409 hitting percentage. The Katy, Texas native enters this weekend among the Big 12 leaders in hitting percentage as she has totaled a team-high .334 average so far.
