ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — No. 16 Griffon Volleyball (20-5, 12-2 MIAA) wraps up the regular season with a two-match road trip through Kansas and Nebraska, taking on Fort Hays State on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Hays, Kansas, before facing No. 5 Nebraska-Kearney on Friday at 7 p.m. in Kearney, Nebraska.

Riding an 11-match win streak, MoWest enters the final week as one of the hottest teams in the nation. Holding a 12–2 MIAA record and a 20–5 mark overall, the Griffons sit alone atop the conference standings with a one-match lead over a crowded field that includes No. 7 Central Oklahoma, No. 5 Nebraska Kearney, No. 8 Washburn and No. 24 Emporia State all tied for second place at 11–3. 

With two matches remaining, MoWest controls its own destiny; win out, and the Griffons would capture the MIAA regular season championship outright. Even one victory would clinch at least a share of the MIAA regular season title for the first time since 2017.

The last loss MoWest has taken was against Nebraska-Kearney in St. Joseph back on Oct. 3, when the Lopers won a five-set nailbiter. Meanwhile, MoWest swept Fort Hays State the very next day in straight sets on Oct. 4.

What's Next
The Griffons head to the 2025 MIAA Volleyball Championship, hosted by the St. Joseph Sports Commission, at the Civic Arena in downtown St. Joseph, Missouri. Tournament play runs Thursday, November 20 – Saturday, November 22. Bracket details and additional information will be released at the conclusion of the regular season.
