On a Friday night otherwise devoid of Mizzou athletics (that basketball game had to be a group hallucination, right? Right?), the Tigers (16-9, 8-6) took to the Hearnes Center court to attempt a season sweep of Texas A&M (15-9, 7-7). That’s exactly what Dawn Sullivan’s squad did (25-22, 28-26, 22-25, 25-22), and by the same final score as their first matchup this season in College Station.
After a back-and-forth beginning to set one, Mizzou moved ahead 10-6 on a 4-0 run which included back-to-back service aces from Jordan Iliff. A&M persistently worked away at the Tigers’ lead, using two runs of 3-0 and finally a 4-0 streak to seize the lead 19-18.
