Mizzou pulled off a gutsy comeback tonight in a five set victory (26-24, 18-25, 21-25, 25-23, 15-6) over Ole Miss. Just when the Tigers (12-7, 4-4) looked down for the count, they found a way to seize momentum from the Rebels (8-11, 2-6) and escape with the win.
Set one began as a back-and-forth tug of war over the lead. Tied at eight, Mizzou was the first team to get any sort of separation as an ace from Dilara Gedikoglu put the Tigers up 10-8. However, Ole Miss soon came back with three consecutive points to take a 12-11 lead, and the teams began to trade points once again.
