The Arizona Wildcats didn’t seem to get started before they were sent home by the Missouri Tigers in three sets (25-17, 25-22, 25-18).
Missouri dominated in almost every statistical category. The Tigers were especially effective on offense, with three players getting double-digit kills and the team hitting .412 for the match. Only one player—Kylie Deberg—hit below .300, and even she hit .273.
It seemed like everything Missouri hit found the floor while Arizona struggled to find a response. Whether it was finding their way through the hands of Arizona’s blockers or watching their mishits go off the net and onto Arizona’s side of the court, everything went right for the Tigers.
