JOPLIN, Mo. – The Missouri Western volleyball team took advantage of 26 Missouri Southern attack errors to claim its 16th win of the season, 3-0.

The Griffons had little trouble dispatching Missouri Southern in the first set, winning 25-16 and getting four kills in the set from Jessie Thorup. The senior outside hitter didn’t add much more to her total from there. Thorup and Jordan Chohon led the Griffons with seven kills each. The Griffons didn’t need a lot from Thorup or her colleagues as Missouri Southern was held to a .082 hitting percentage on the night.

Kayla Ruff led the Griffons with 10 kills. Shellby Taylor had a team-high four blocks and Chohon added 27 assists. The win improved Missouri Western to 16-5 on the season and 8-2 in the MIAA. Missouri Southern dropped to 2-19 overall and 1-9 in the MIAA. The Griffons continue their road trip with a trip to Boliavar to take on Southwest Baptist Saturday.
