Missouri Southern State just flipped the script in a major way! After a brutal 3-0 loss to Arkansas Tech earlier in the day, the Lions roared back on the night slate, earning a clean sweep of their own against William Jewell College. Talk about shaking off a tough one. This victory marks their second sweep of the invitational tournament, showing they know how to get it done when it counts, just like they did against Southwestern Oklahoma State on Wednesday night.
Lions Lock Down William Jewell in Dominant Sweep
This wasn’t just a win, it was a statement. The Lions absolutely stifled the Cardinals, holding them to under 20 points in two of the three sets. Only the second set saw William Jewell even cross that threshold. That’s some serious defensive effort, shutting down their opponent’s offense when it mattered most. You love to see a team adjust and come out firing after a tough morning.
Alvis and Gardner Lead the Attack
The offense wasn’t slacking either. Addysen Alvis was an absolute force, leading the Lions with 10 kills in the contest. Grace Gardner was right there with her, trailing just slightly with nine kills of her own. When you’ve got players stepping up like that, it makes all the difference in turning a challenging day around. Their combined firepower was just too much for William Jewell to handle.
What’s next for the Lions? They’re back in action tomorrow for the final day of the Gorilla Classic. They’ll clash with Truman State at 4:30 p.m. Can they keep this momentum rolling and finish the invitational strong? We’ll be watching to see if they can bring that same energy and secure another big win.
