The Missouri volleyball team faces No. 1 Penn State in the NCAA tournament’s round of 16 on Friday, and MU coach Wayne Kreklow hopes the results his team will produce are reminiscent of 2005, not 2010.
Those years are the other two times that Mizzou — which is making its fourth Sweet 16 appearance — has played in University Park, Penn., for this round of the NCAA tournament. That first time (2005) was the program’s first-ever Sweet 16 appearance, and the Tigers beat Hawaii and advanced to the tournament’s regional final for the first and only time in their history.
