Kansas volleyball team loses to Iowa State; players say they are improving despite loss
By David Dorsey

The Kansas volleyball team suffered another Big Eight Conference defeat Saturday night, losing to the Iowa State Cyclones 16-14, 15-11, 13-15, and 15-11.
The Jayhawks dropped to 17-11 overall, 1-5 in the conference.
"We played much better tonight than last Wednesday," Kansas coach Frankie Albitz said after the game. "I really think we should have won it tonight. It could have gone either wav."
FreshmanATER Lesli Steinert had nine nails. Most of them came from plays where she would dink the ball on the net to nothing but empty floor.
"I saw their defenses spread apart," Steinert said. "They're big girls and they didn't react to it. Sometimes I did it twice in a row."
Albitz said she approved of Steinert setting to score.
Steinert, along with freshman Tracie Waint, juniors Cyndee Kanabel and Shelby Lard and seniors Kim DeHoff and Julie Larkin, started for the Jayhawks.
"Id rather have a setter do it too much than not enough," Albiz said. "Lesli's trying to get a point, and I told her to take some chances on it."

Lard, who playedetter earlier this season, moved into the starting lineup for the second consecutive match positioned herself behind Steinert.
"Shelby's really an all-around player," Albitz said. "She has been very effective."
The Jayhawks took the Cyclones to the limit in the first game. With the Cyclones leading 13-11, Steinert set the ball over the net twice in a row for two points, tying the game. Kansas could not pull it out, however, and lost the game 16-14.
In the second game, the Hawks tied the score at six, but could not take the lead. The Cyclones won the game 15-11.
The Cyclones fought back and tied the score at 13. Lard passed the ball to
With the score tied at six in the third game, Steinert again set the ball over the net. DeHoff then served an ace, which began a six-point scoring run.
Steinert, who set to DeHoff for the spike. At match point, Lard served and the Cyclones were unable to return it as the Jayhawks won the game 15-13.
In game four, the Jayhawks found themselves trailing early, 8-3. With kills from DeHoff, Steinert and Kanabel, Kansas did the score at nine and again at 10. The Jayhawks' efforts were not enough, however, and the
Cyclones took the last game, 15-11 and the match, three games to one.
Steinert said that the defeat was a letdown, but that she was encouraged by the team's play.
"It is disappointing, but we took a step forward from the last match," she said. "I think if we just keep working one step farther each game and each practice then we can turn things around."
