Leah McNary went into the summer break looking to take her volleyball game to the next level. What she didn’t expect is how fast she would be working on that task –when a great opportunity came along, it was hard for her to turn down.

It started as a normal day towards the end of the spring season, but soon turned into a whirlwind of activity as she suddenly was headed to China to train with some of that country’s best volleyball players.

Last week the Lady Vikings ran into a buzz saw as they were defeated by Winside on Tuesday and Creighton on Thursday. We just never got out of the gate against Winside. They are great team but when you give them several unforced errors and free ball attempts, they are the kind of team that will eat you up.

Against Creighton we started out slow but came back and played a pretty good 2nd game but then did not play very aggressively at the net and that took its toll on us in the end. The schedule does not get any easier down the stretch as we play Hartington and Wakefield on Tuesday night and then travel to Niobrara for triangular action with NVC and Clearwater/Orchard.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- In a match full of runs, Missouri State had the last and most important one to claim a 3-1 victory over Creighton Volleyball on Friday night at Hammons Student Center.

Scores of the match in favor of MSU were 25-16, 21-25, 25-19, 25-21.

MSU is now 12-5 on the season and 5-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference play. Creighton fell to 10-8 and is also 5-1 in the MVC. Both squads trail No. 12 Northern Iowa (16-1, 6-0 MVC) by one game in the MVC standings.
