Good morning, Shocker Nation. What a season opener it was for Shocker volleyball! Wichita State opened the season 2-1 at the Shocker Volleyball Classic, sweeping Stephen F. Austin on Friday before closing out the weekend with a sweep of Missouri State yesterday.

Sophomore Olivia Cohee announced herself in the opener, posting 10 kills, 10 digs, and three blocks in her debut as a starting six-rotation outside hitter, hitting at a 45-percent clip on 22 swings. Fellow sophomore Jenna Cubbage also notched 10 kills, and Maddie Wilson's six blocks anchored a defense that held the Southland Conference favorite to a .096 attack percentage.
