The Mizzou volleyball team took only an hour and nine minutes to record its 14th straight win over Iowa State with a 3-0 (30-9, 30-19, 30-16) sweep. The Tigers are now 18-9 on the year and 11-7 in the Big 12 Conference with two matches left in the regular season.
Lisa Boyd led the way for MU on Wednesday night. She had nine kills and a .818 hitting percentage in the opening game of the match on her way to a career-high 20 kills. Boyd hit .621 for the match and added a team-high six blocks (two solo and four assisted).
The 30-9 game one victory for Mizzou was the largest margin of victory for the Tigers in a Big 12 Conference match since the NCAA went to rally scoring in 2001. Mizzou jumped out to a quick 9-3 lead with an 8-0 that included three aces by Juliana Godoi. Godoi finished the night with career-high six aces. As a team the Tigers recorded 15 aces, just two shy of the school record for aces in a three-game match.
Mizzou continued to control the match in games two and three, picking up its first three-game sweep since defeating Colorado on Oct. 22. Shen Danru and Jessica Vander Kooi each reach double digits in digs with 16 and 11, respectively. Each also added eight kills for the Tigers.
Lindsey Hunter had 38 assists and a .714 hitting percentage on seven attacks. Following Godoi in the aces category was Nicole Wilson with four, while Hunter and Vander Kooi each had two.
The Tigers will be on the road on Saturday, facing Colorado. Missouri will return to the Hearnes Center on Nov. 29 to close out the regular season against Baylor.
