Brimmage has been big with some more blocks in the middle. Timeout Tulane…will see if they can close it out.

It was actually 22-22 when the last time out was called. Some big points now coming up

Tulane has called timeout…will need to turn it around in a real hurry or they will get cloesd out by the Tigers.

a blocking clinic down the stretch with TWENTY total blocks by the Tigers. They end up hitting a very decent .248 for the match, and right now need to clean up the service errors. They dug very well for the match with three in double digits, as Megan Wilson is a kill short of a double-double. Lei Wang had a great last 3 sets and finished with 39 assists for the match. Wendy Wang with 15 kills to only one error and a 41 percent hiting percentage.

Mizzou moves to 1-0 and will have two matches tomorrow.
