Sunday’s match had the potential to serve as a springboard for one of the easiest stretches of Mizzou’s (13-9, 5-6) conference schedule. However, Ole Miss spoiled the party for the Tigers with a 3-1 victory (24-26, 21-25, 25-21, 14-25), ending on a particularly lopsided fourth set.
After a back-and-forth beginning to the first set which favored the defense for both teams, Mizzou was the first squad to gain any separation with a 3-0 run for an 8-6 lead.
