Hear From Head Coach Wayne Kreklow
On Friday evening's sweep over Texas A&M...
"I thought we did a nice job tonight in a lot of different areas against an RPI top-50 team," head coach Wayne Kreklow said. "When it gets late in the year like this, you have to start winning these types of matches if you want to keep playing at the end of the year. A lot of our players made plays when we needed them. Now we need to shift our focus to a good LSU team on Sunday."
Up Next
Mizzou will be home Sunday to LSU at 1 p.m. on SEC Network+ as it looks to extend its winning streak to four games. The Tigers' season-long win streak is five games. For all the latest on Mizzou Volleyball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on Twitter @MizzouVB.
