Mizzou Volleyball closed the 2024 regular season with an exclamation point, sweeping Auburn (25-18, 25-19, 25-16) and shaking off the cobwebs of the past few weeks. The Tigers had lost three of their prior four matches.
Mizzou (20-8, 11-5) jumped out to the first comfortable lead of the opening set with a 5-0 run, 14-9, featuring two kills and a block assist by Mychael Vernon. Auburn (14-13, 4-12) cut the lead to three on a service error by Vernon, but three straight points for the black and gold Tigers made it 19-13 and prompted a timeout by the visitors.
