Series Snapshot vs. Texas A&M

Tiger Individuals Shine in Five-Set Thriller vs. No. 13 Florida
- Mizzou saw its four-match winning streak come to a close Wednesday (Oct. 30) evening inside the Hearnes Center following a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to No. 13 Florida.
- Despite the loss, four Tigers finished with double-digit kills, led by junior Kylie Deberg's career-high 27 kills. It marked the Hudson, Iowa, native's eighth 20-plus kill match this year, matching former Tiger All-American Carly Kan for the most 20-plus kill matches in a single-season since 2015.
- Deberg also tacked on 12 digs to secure her team-leading fifth double-double of the year. Joining her with outstanding all-around matches were redshirt sophomore Andrea Fuentes (50 assists, 14 digs) and junior Dariana Hollingsworth-Santana (11 kills on .474 hitting, 14 digs). The San Juan natives now sit with four and two double-doubles this season, respectively.
- Redshirt senior Riley Sents was fantastic defensively from the back row against the Gators, recording a season-best 18 digs. She has now produced double-digit digs six times in her past seven matches.
- Junior Tyanna Omazic was electric offensively, matching her career-high with 14 total kills against Florida. It marked her 12th double-digit kill match this year and seventh-straight such occurrence.
- Hollingsworth-Santana continues to shine in SEC play, producing 10-plus kills for the fifth time in her past six matches. Additionally, she has hit .430-plus five times in her past seven contests.
Another Top-Level RPI Match on Tap
- As of Monday (Oct. 28), Mizzou and Texas A&M sat with a No. 22 and No. 11 NCAA RPI rating, respectively. Sunday will mark the Tigers' second consecutive high-level RPI matchup, as they faced No. 10 RPI Florida this past Wednesday (Oct. 30).
- Mizzou has consistently faced a tough schedule in 2019, evident by five matchups versus Top 20 RPI squads, eight contests against Top 50 RPI programs and 11 matches versus Top 75 RPI foes.
- With the Tigers exactly halfway through their Southeastern Conference schedule, there's still ample opportunities available to improve their stock. Remaining on the schedule include No. 8 Kentucky (Nov. 20), No. 11 Texas A&M (Nov. 3), No. 31 Georgia (Nov. 10), No. 44 Ole Miss (Nov. 27), No. 45 South Carolina (Nov. 17) and No. 55 Tennessee (Nov. 24).
