Volleyball: Turning the Tide, taming the Tigers and setting records
The Bulldogs volleyball team posted wins and set records during an impressive week. On Wednesday, State swept Alabama 3-0 (25-15, 25-21, 25-19) and moved back into sole possession of second place in the Southeastern Conference standings. During that match, senior captain Gabby Waden became just the 11th Bulldog in history to reach 1,000 career kills by notching a match-leading 11 kills.
Mizzou provided stiffer competition on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s match in Columbia, Missouri, proved to be a back-and-forth affair, with State clinching the match 3-(22-25, 25-17, 25-15, 19-25, 16-14).
