Wichita State’s new lineup can grab first place in MVC volleyball

Wichita State coach Chris Lamb loved the two-setter lineup during the spring. Injuries ruined those and other plans and now his latest look gets its toughest on Monday against Southern Illinois.

The Shockers wrap up a three-match-in-four-day stretch with a chance to grab first place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a win over the Salukis (15-6, 6-1 MVC) at Koch Arena. The Salukis resided in the bottom half of the Valley before coach Justin Ingram took over in 2012.

In 2013, SIU ended a 23-match losing streak to the Shockers. Last season, SIU finished one game behind MVC champion WSU and made its first NCAA Tournament appearance.
