In their return to the Hearnes Center following nearly a month on the road, Missouri Tigers volleyball came away with a sweep to start their home-stand.

The Tigers dominated in the first and third set, outscoring their opponents by 24 points in those sets. The closest set was 25-20. The large margin in the third set came with the help of an 11-1 run against the Southeastern Missouri (SEMO) Redhawks.

The Redhawks had a run of their own in the second set, but it was not nearly as long-lasting as the Tigers. They were able to bring themselves within just 5 points at the end of the set.

Senior Jordan Iliff once again led the team in kills, attacks, blocks and points. Graduate Mychael Vernon stayed on her heals during all the matches, coming second in kills, attacks and points for the team.

Missouri kicks off SEC play at home on Friday, Oct. 11 against Alabama. The first set will begin at 7 p.m.

That's all folks! 👋🏼
