Mizzou/Nebraska Post-Game Notes
• The loss was Mizzou's first at home this season as they fall to 8-1 at the Hearnes Center. With the loss, Mizzou failed to tie the program's longest home winning-streak which was set in 2002, 1983 and 1981.

• Nebraska came into tonight tied for the Big 12 lead in service aces at 1.21 per set, but Mizzou limited them just two total aces in the match.

• Junior outside hitter Paola Ampudia (Cali, Colombia) posted her second double-double of the season with 23 kills and 13 digs. Ampudia posted her first double-double on Wednesday at Kansas State when she posted 17 kills and 10 digs. Her 23 kills and 10 digs are both career-bests as are her six blocks in the match.

• For the week, Ampudia hit .273 from the left side position with 40 kills, 23 digs and 10 total blocks, accounting for 46.5 total points to lead the team.

• Junior middle blocker Weiwen Wang (Nanjing, China) made her first start of the season, posting eight kills and two digs.

• Junior libero Caitlyn Vann (Muncie, Ind.), who came into the match leading the Big 12 with 5.20 digs per set, posted 14 in the match. She was one of four Tigers who reached double-digits in digs.

• Tonight's attendance of 2,646 was a season-high at the Hearnes Center.
