Tonight, Mizzou Volleyball plays on the biggest stage in program history.

The Tigers will face the sport’s preeminent powerhouse, Nebraska, in front of a packed Wrigley Field and many more on national television.

Dawn Sullivan and her talented but young squad have a herculean task ahead. The Cornhuskers have national title expectations fueled by the returning First Team All-American trio of middle blocker Andi Jackson, outside hitter Harper Murray and setter Bergen Reilly.

Simply winning a set — something
