With its first round win, the Missouri volleyball team has set up a long-awaited border war matchup.
In their first trip to Lawrence, Kansas, since the conference switch, the team defeated the Missouri State Bears 3-1, advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament for the seventh time under coach Wayne Kreklow.
Although Missouri trails 28-7 in their all-time match-ups against its in-state rival, the tables turned today in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Despite dropping the first game by a close four points, the players bounced back with offensive diversity at the net.
“We had a real balanced attack tonight and served well,” Kreklow said.
