November 25, 2022 | Volleyball
STARKVILLE – The Mississippi State volleyball team earned a 3-1 victory over Missouri inside the Newell-Grissom Building Friday night.
The Bulldogs took the first set 25-22, but the Tigers came back to take set two 25-19. State stormed back to take the next two sets 25-21, 25-19.
"Awesome win on our home court," head coach Julie Darty Dennis said. "This is senior weekend, so I think we're just really fired up to play for one another and play for our seniors. I thought we came out with a lot of pride. I was really proud of the response after the second set."
State's offense was led by a 17-kill performance from Gabby Waden, who also added 12 digs to earn her fifth double-double. With her 17 kills, she has recorded a total of 1,501 career kills. Waden also recorded two assists.
Shania Cromartie and Lauren Myrick each recorded 13 kills apiece. With Myrick's 13 kills, she also added 18 digs to earn her ninth double-double, while also adding one block. Cromartie added one dig and a block on the night.
Deja Robinson notched eight kills on a .429 hitting clip, while adding a team-leading four blocks. Sania Petties issued seven kills, three digs and one assists.
Gabby Coulter posted her team-leading sixteenth double-double of the year, recording 51 assists and 12 digs. Coulter also added a career-high four kills, while issuing an ace.
Lilly Gunter sprawled out for 20 digs, while adding two assists on the night.
"I thought [Gabby] Coulter did a fantastic job of running a balanced offense," Dennis said. "Coulter finished with a double-double and had a lot of attackers with double-digit kills. I thought Shania [Cromartie] was fantastic. She did a good job of moving the ball around and following the game plan. Lauren Myrick, did a fantastic job as well. Incredible work by our pins to really fight to score those points and feed our offensive weapons. Excited that we get a chance to do it again tomorrow."
As a team, Mississippi State recorded 76 digs, 62 kills and 60 assists.
The Bulldogs are back home tomorrow, Nov. 26, for another match against Missouri. First serve is set for 3 p.m. CT and admission is free to all matches.
