Mizzou volleyball punched its ticket to the second round of the NCAA tournament Thursday with a sweep over Texas State, beating them 25-16, 25-22, 25-22. A mix of good defense and too many errors from the Bobcats was one of the biggest factors in the match. Texas State was held to just a .063 hitting percentage in the first set and a .080 for the match, along with 20 team errors. The Tigers came out firing, with grad-transfer Mychael Vernon leading the charge.
