Trojans Drop Competitive Opener
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock combined for 10 blocks and limited Missouri State to just a .200 hitting mark but dropped a close match in the season opener for both teams with a 3-0 decision at the Jack Stephens Center Sunday afternoon.
It would be the defensive adjustments from Saturday's exhibition that were most notable for the host Trojans (0-1), forcing 20 hitting errors by the visiting Bears (1-0). But Missouri State was able to finish late, withstanding a Little Rock run in a tense second set that ended 27-25.
Freshmen and each registered five blocks for the Trojans while put down 12 kills. Brooklyn Cink led the Bear offense with 20 kills.
