MSU opens the first week of the season with back-to-back wins over the Screaming Eagles.

Murray State Volleyball makes it 2-0 in the start of the season with another win over Southern Indiana (0-2), Aug. 27.

Racers did not leave room for error after dropping the first set, winning the second to fourth sets decisively.

Despite the win, head coach Dave Schwepker feels like there is still things that need fixing.

"Today we played better, didn't make as many errors (then last night)," Schwepker said. "The main goal of the two season opener games against Southern Indiana is to fix a lot of bumps, I wanted to see where our deficits are."

Role players

Federica Nuccio led the Racers in kills with 18 while also contributing in defense with seven digs. Behind her was Ella Vogel, who recorded 12 kills while only committing one error.

"Federica did really well today, it is something that we knew she could do," Schwepker said.

Bailey DeMier conducted the Racer's 76 attack attempts, recording a total of 43 assists.

Overall stats

The Racers recorded only 17 errors compared to last night's 41. The clean led to a more decisive win.

The Racers will travel to Lynchburg, Virginia for the Liberty Invitational. They will play against Winthrop to start the tournament, Sept. 2.
