After Wichita State’s first two matches of the Shocker Volleyball Classic, head coach Chris Lamb said he wanted the fifth-year middle to be more involved. In the Missouri State match, Wilson responded with 14 kills, no errors, and a .667 hitting percentage, along with six digs and five blocks. The team never trailed in the third set, which they closed with a 25-16 win.
Setter Jordan Heatherly also played a major role, recording 22 assists and a 43 percent assist percentage, plus six digs and two service aces. Sophomore outside hitter McKenzie Jones contributed 11 kills with one error while hitting .400, adding four digs and three blocks. The win improved Wichita State’s record to 2-1 heading into its next weekend trip.
