COLUMBIA, Mo. - The No. 4 Mizzou Volleyball team swept Mississippi State, 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-17) on Friday night (Nov. 22) at the Hearnes Center to clinch the program's first-ever conference championship and the school's first-ever SEC Championship since joining the league prior to last season. The Tigers improve to a national-best 32-0 and 16-0 in SEC.
The win earns Mizzou an automatic berth to next month's NCAA Tournament, the 11th in 14 years under Wayne and Susan Kreklow. The win is also the 300th since the Kreklows took over the program in 2000. The match was played in front of a school-record 7,879 fans, breaking the previous mark of 7,298 set against Nebraska in 2005.
Mizzou will be back on the road on Sunday at No. 16 Kentucky as it looks to continue its unbeaten season. For all the latest on Mizzou volleyball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MizzouVB. We'll have MUCH more from Hearnes Center shortly!
