A little off the usual topic, but I'm a huge volleyball fan and considering applying to Iowa State. Does anyone know how their women's volleyball team ranks nationally and in their conference? Are their games well-attended and how's the team spirit? Any information would be awesome, thanks!
Iowa State's women's volleyball team has had a competitive program in recent years. Though the national and conference rankings can fluctuate every season, they have consistently been a strong team in the Big 12 Conference. In the past, they have often been ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation in the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball RPI (Rating Percentage Index), which is a metric used to measure team performance.
Regarding attendance and team spirit, many students and local fans attend the games, which creates an energetic and supportive atmosphere. Of course, attendance can vary depending on the specific match and other factors such as the location, time of day, and the team's performance - college students are busy people, after all!
In general, though, the Iowa State women's volleyball team is well-regarded, and attending their games provides an opportunity to experience top-notch college athletics while also showing school spirit. Be sure to check their athletics website or social media accounts during the season for the most up-to-date information on their performance, rankings, and game schedules. If you're a local applicant, you could even attend a game this fall to get a firsthand feel for the atmosphere!
Best of luck with your college search and volleyball fandom endeavors!
