Mizzou Volleyball Sweeps Doubleheader: The Buzz

Missouri volleyball played two matches on Thursday in Fight in the Fort, first facing off with Wyoming and then Rhode Island. The Tigers defeated Wyoming 3-1 and Rhode Island 3-0.

Missouri grabbed the first set against Wyoming fairly easily. In fact, the 25-14 victory was the team's largest set victory of the season. The third set was a similar 25-18 win for the Tigers, but Wyoming's ability to grab the second set sent the match to a fourth.

In the fourth, Missouri got it done by a tight 30-28 margin.

By the end of the contest with the Cowgirls, a few Tigers had racked up some notable stats. Redshirt junior Marina Crownover recorded her fourth double-double of the season, logging 40 assists and 17 digs. Senior Maya Sands notched a game-high 26 digs, and freshman Zoey Matias-Lopez recorded three service aces.

The Tigers took the momentum into the match with the Rams, winning the first set 25-14. They never took their foot off the gas as they won the next two sets 25-17 and 25-20.

Redshirt sophomore Grace O'Reilly led the Tigers in kills with 11. Senior Maya Sands and freshman Nina Mandovic led the team in digs with seven each.

The Tigers will look to use the momentum when they play TCU at 6:30 p.m. Friday in Fort Worth, Texas. The Horned Frogs also faced Wyoming on Thursday in Fight in the Fort, winning 3-0. With the victory, they sit at a 5-1 record.
