QUOTING HEAD COACH SASHA BOROS
“We had another close, competitive match against Kansas State today and lost a heartbreaker. I think we had a lot of opportunities and chances, and this one will sting for a while. But I give a lot of credit to Kansas State for fighting hard for the win today. We have a day to think about it and regroup before we face Wichita State. We’re going to play a good Shocker team that's having a good season.” 
UP NEXT
The Hawkeyes will remain on the road, traveling to Wichita to face the Shockers on Monday at 11 a.m. (CT).
