MUTIGERS.COM: 2014 Mizzou Volleyball Season Preview
The most daunting task facing Wayne Kreklow and company will be replacing First Team All-American and four-year phenom Molly Kreklow, who led the nation in assists last season while quarterbacking a Mizzou offense that led the nation in kills, hitting and assists. While that is no easy task, the Tigers have two players that will look to take the reins this season. Sophomore Loxley Keala, who played last season as a defensive specialist, has plenty of Division I playing experience but none at setter. However, the Honolulu native is a seasoned setter and comes from a coaching family. She assisted on 49 kills last season while playing at DS and is the front-runner to take the position this season.
Wayne and Susan Kreklow's daughter, Ali Kreklow, has joined the team this season as well for her freshman year. After setting at Rock Bridge High School for four seasons, Kreklow should figure into the mix this season and will likely push Keala for the starting role.
