Mizzou will play No. 22 (AVCA rank) Santa Clara (20-7), Friday, in the first round, a rematch from a earlier in the year where the Tigers fell in Austin in four to the Broncos. The Tigers will play opening rounds in Palo Alto, Calif., and if advancing to the second-round will play host and second-seeded Stanford or Sacramento State.
