NORMAL, IL — Despite 24 kills from senior Rhett Robinson, the North Texas volleyball team fell to Missouri in five sets (25-12, 15-25, 25-21, 24-26, 5-15) on Friday evening.
Robinson led the offensive attack for the Mean Green, but hit just .200 in the loss. Sarah Haeussler added nine kills of her own. Defensively, four players had at least 10 digs, led by 26 from Henrianna Ibarra. Robinson and Aleeyah Galdeira finished with 11, while Katie Butler added 10.
North Texas took the first set handily 25-12, but Missouri bounced back with a strong second set to even up the match. The Mean Green found an edge in the third set, but couldn't close out the contest as the Tigers took the fourth set 26-24.
In the deciding fifth frame, North Texas failed to get much going offensively, falling 15-5.
The Mean Green now turn their attention to the final game of the 2021 Redbird Classic, a Saturday morning contest against Illinois. The match gets underway at 11 a.m. from Redbird Arena.
