Hear From Head Coach Steve Bieser

On sweeping the season series over Missouri State and taking four straight overall…

"I think it means we're heading in the right direction. That's a really solid program for many years. I felt like last year and this year we put together four really good games. We've been doing quite alright in midweek games."

On using the success against Missouri State on the recruiting trails…

"Yeah, I think there's definitely some recruiting battles in the St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield area. We're going to run into each other head-to-head on some guys. It's important that we're winning these series and making a statement in the state of Missouri."
