The rocky start to Missouri volleyball’s season continued Saturday as the Tigers dropped to 3-4 after a 3-0 loss to the Boise State Broncos in the final game of the Boise State Invitational in Boise, Idaho. This was not the start that the team, which opened the season ranked No. 19 in the nation, was hoping for coming into the season.
Mizzou’s starting outside hitters in this contest were freshman Dariana Hollingsworth and junior Paige Perego, the fifth different combination head coach Wayne Kreklow has used in his first seven games this season. While giving different players game experience provides an opportunity to increase squad depth and help develop players for the future, the strategy can also backfire, as it did Saturday against the Broncos.
