The next chapter of Missouri volleyball has already begun.
After introducing the Dawn Sullivan era in last week’s debut of First Serve, this week’s edition shifts the focus to the people responsible for writing its next chapter. Every Monday, First Serve will explore the stories shaping Missouri volleyball, and none may be more important than the players who will attempt to return the Tigers to NCAA Tournament contention.
The faces are both familiar and new.
Missouri enters Sullivan’s fourth season with one of the deepest roster transitions of her tenure. Gone are veterans Maya Sands and Janet DeMarrais, two players whose consistency helped elevate the Tigers into an SEC contender. Middle blockers Regan Haith and Tyrah Ariail graduated after anchoring Missouri’s front line, while All-SEC setter Marina Crownover departed through the transfer portal, leaving one of the largest voids on the roster.
Replacing that production will not fall on one player.
