Thrilling Third Set Not Enough as Drake Drops Season Opener to Mizzou

OMAHA, Neb. – Drake volleyball started its 2024 season on Friday afternoon with a non-conference bout against the Missouri Tigers. The Bulldogs gave Mizzou a scare in the third set, but the SEC squad had too much firepower as they beat Drake, 3-0.

"Overall, I'm proud of the way our team played today," Drake head coach said. "We went up against a really strong Missouri team on the verge of the top 25 and paced them well in the first set…[we] battled back in the third with a nice set from Beagle and our offense, so that was encouraging.
