Missouri Volleyball Team Continues Impressive Season

The Missouri Volleyball Team continues to impress, as Anna Dixon, a redshirt junior setter, is now the recipient of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Defensive Player of the Week award.

Dixon's Consistent Performance and Team Success

Dixon has been a consistent performer for Missouri this season, averaging 4.68 digs per set. Her steady play and leadership have contributed to the team's impressive 16-6 record, including a 9-2 mark in SEC play.

Missouri currently ranks second in the SEC in digs per set, and Dixon's contributions have played a significant role in the team's defensive success. Her ability to control the back row and set up her attackers has been invaluable to Missouri's overall performance.

Conference Recognition and Team Goals

Dixon's SEC Defensive Player of the Week award is a testament to her hard work and dedication. It is also a reflection of the success the Missouri Volleyball Team has achieved this season.

With Dixon leading the way defensively, Missouri is well-positioned to make a run at the SEC Championship and potentially advance deep into the NCAA Tournament. The team's chemistry and determination will be key as they navigate the remaining conference schedule and prepare for the postseason.
