Iowa State picked up its third straight win over Iowa tonight 3-1 in front of the second largest volleyball crowd ever at Hilton. After tonight's win and football's win on Saturday, the Cyclones now lead the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series 5-0.
Zoo director Brendan Wiley is giving an update on the tiger attack now. He said that the keeper is in stable condition. But that’s all they know about her condition. He did confirm that they will NOT euthanize the tiger
The blocked punt by Myles Mendeszoon that was returned for a touchdown by Caden Matson was a game-changing play for the Cyclones.
Matson gave some great insight when elaborating on Matt Campbell's comment that special teams reflects the character of the team.
The support Monte Morris received from fans during his time at Iowa State and even now as an NBA player has always stuck with him. It's why he enjoys coming back to do things like meet & greets and hosting a basketball camp.

Over the weekend, the Iowa State wrestling team helped a parent find his son who had wandered off in the hotel they were staying at. Props to Kevin Dresser and his team for springing into action.
TIGER ATTACK UPDATE: The keeper sustained scratches and bites to the back of her head and neck, but is in stable condition. The tiger gained access to the area of the exhibit that the keeper was in and tackled her. She is the primary keeper and has worked with them for 10 years.
The duo of Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel continues to be a problem for opposing defenses. Tonight, Higgins had 8 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. Noel had 5 catches for 98 yards.
Higgins has scored at least one touchdown in seven straight games dating back to last season.
Jaylon Jackson has had some great performances over the last few weeks. Tonight, he finally had that breakthrough game he's been hoping for, rushing for 107 yards on 15 carries. He also had two touchdowns.
Zoo director Brendan Wiley says the tiger exhibit is now back open, but Sanjiv, the tiger involved in the attack will not be back out for the rest of the day. He will likely be back out tomorrow.
