Despite dropping a five-set thriller to the Florida Gators 3-2, Missouri volleyball still remains in the AVCA Top 25 for the second week in a row.

The Tigers didn't move up nor down, staying put at the No. 25 spot. Florida jumped up one spot after the win, now ranking at No. 20 instead of No. 21. As important as the game was for both teams, the outcome didn't have much of an impact on either's rank.

Missouri's nine-game winning streak may have been snapped, but its record of 18-6 (9-3 in conference play) keeps it as the No. 4 team in the SEC. If it can win out the rest of the season, both its conference standing and NCAA rank could jump up higher.

To round out the rest of the 2024 regular season slate, the Tigers will go up against Ole Miss, Mississippi State, No. 13 Kentucky and Auburn before tournament play begins. They will be favorites in 3-of-4 matchups, as the Wildcats are the only team to currently be ranked.

After the loss to Florida, coach Dawn Sullivan remained confident that Missouri could finish the season on a strong note.

"I thought our team just really battled," Sullivan said. "We came out really strong, up and down just a little bit. ... Now we just had to learn how to continue to do it longer."

The final stretch starts against the Rebels (16-9, 6-7 SEC) Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Oxford, Miss.
