It was also the first match for MSU head coach Miya Malauulu.
“That’s one match I won’t forget,” Malauulu said. “We got out to good starts in the first two games, and then the wheels would fall off. We didn’t get the job done in serve-receive and you can’t do that against a nationally ranked team.”
In the opening game, the Bobcats took a 7-6 advantage on a Megan Zanto and Kamber Kelly block. Missouri responded with a 14-3 run behind the strong serving effort of Shen Danru, who ended the match with six aces. The Tigers won the opening game on a Danru kill.
In the second game, Missouri took an early 5-2 advantage before the Bobcats answered to tie the score at eight-all on an Angela Wiebe kill. The Tigers then rattled off a 13-4 run to take a commanding lead, before winning the game after a Kim Stonehouse hitting error.
In the final match, the Tigers outhit Montana State .441 to -.111 to cruise to the victory.
Freshman Nadine Goldi paced MSU in the loss with a team-high eight kills, while setter Kamber Kelly added 16 assists and a match-high 16 digs.
“The best thing about tonight is that we get to play tomorrow,” Malauulu said. “If we serve-receive, I think we’ll be very competitive on Saturday.”
Danru paced Missouri with a match-high 15 digs, while setter Lindsey Hunter chipped in 42 assists and seven aces.
Montana State will face Arkansas and Toledo, Saturday afternoon in the Hearnes Center.
