With 3,501 fans in attendance at the Hearnes Center, the Missouri Tigers continued their impressive homestand with a 3-1 win (25-19, 23-25, 25-23, 25-12) over #24 Auburn. Mizzou made a statement today that could have a large effect on their seeding for the NCAA Tournament.
The black and gold Tigers were the first to gain separation in set one with a 4-0 run to take an 11-7 lead. Not only did Mizzou (17-9, 9-6) maintain the lead, it extended the advantage with another 4-0 streak to take a commanding 18-12 advantage.
Dawn Sullivan’s squad kept Auburn (18-7, 8-6) at bay for the rest of the set, clinching the victory 25-19 on a kill from Jordan Iliff, who maintained her high level of play after earning SEC Offensive Player of the Week for her performances last weekend.
