With Head Coach Mary Nichols taking over the team for her first-ever season at the helm of Missouri Western Volleyball, the 1987 Griffons did not skip a beat. Punctuated by a 35-match winning streak from Oct. 3 to Nov. 20, Missouri Western won 63 matches and only lost six times, both team records. Hitters Kris Riviere and Cheryl Williams garnered First Team All-CSIC honors, and hitter Ashley Harms and setter Roberta McDaniel made the honorable mention team.
With Williams being awarded a nod to the All-American First Team, the Griffons rode their-red hot streak to a CSIC Championship and their seventh consecutive District 16 title, taking place on their home court in St. Joseph. Taking their talents to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Griffons made their seventh consecutive NAIA National Tournament. Nichols and Missouri Western capped a celebratory year by going 5-2 up north, finishing with a fifth-place showing at the big dance.
