In front of a season-high 3,841 fans, Mizzou Volleyball put on an impressive defensive display Sunday in a sweep (25-23, 25-13, 25-18) of South Carolina. The Tigers finished the night with another new season high of 11 blocks, the first time Dawn Sullivan’s squad has passed double digits this season, and limited the Gamecocks to a .123 hitting percentage.
“This [was] kind of one of the first games where we actually talked to each other about, ‘Let’s put up a wall,’” outside hitter Janet deMarrais said.
Mizzou gained its first solid lead of the night, 12-8, with a 3-0 run featuring an ace by Kiaraliz Perez Catala.
