Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) volleyball welcomed its season debut on Thursday night with a scrimmage against the Green and Gold teams at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. The Lions, composed of five freshmen and six sophomores, showcased their skills in front of a live crowd. Coaches from other Southern sports, including Rebekah Wendlend from basketball and Aidan Bilboa from soccer, led the respective teams.
Bilboa found the experience enlightening, noting the Lions' ability to execute unique soccer plays like kick saves. Assistant coach Wendlend, however, was eager to stick to basketball, emphasizing her team's importance. The scrimmage provided MSSU with a taste of game day atmosphere, crucial as they prepare for their first match next Thursday against the Lion Invite.
Head coach Joshua Moore highlighted the team's bravery and determination, particularly in risking bold plays and defensive growth. Emerging leaders Addysen Alvis and Tiana Simmons were praised for their growth and contributions. With optimism running high among the young team, the Lions are set to kick off their season with great anticipation.
