The Missouri volleyball team couldn’t pull off another NCAA Tournament upset Friday, losing 3-0 to No. 1 Penn State in a Sweet 16 match in State College, Pa.
The unseeded Tigers were swept 25-17, 25-18, 25-19 by the Nittany Lions after beating Kansas and No. 16 Wichita State in the first two rounds of the tournament. KU was in contention for a top 16 seed and the Tigers beat Wichita State on its home floor.
Friday was Missouri’s second straight appearance in the round of 16. Last season, the Tigers lost to that year’s No. 2 seed, Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
