Missouri is in the tournament for the fourth straight year, and the Tigers won two matches in the tournament last season. Arizona’s most recent NCAA Tournament match was also played in Lincoln, in a Sweet 16 match against Washington in 2016. Arizona has had several players miss matches with injuries this season and has a 3-7 record against ranked opponents.
Alyssa Munlyn, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker for the Tigers, is the program’s all-time leader in blocks with 632.
A lot of the Arizona offense goes through outside hitter Kendra Dahlke, who ranks fifth nationally in kills per set with 4.
