Murray State got swept by Illinois State Friday afternoon at Racer Arena.Â
The Redbirs (19-7, 10-5 MVC) blitzed The Racers (6-21, 4,-11 MVC) out of the gate and never relented, as the loss officially eliminated Murray State from the 2026 MVC Volleyball Tournament.Â
The Navy and Gold found success in the middle, with Maezi Snyder leading the team with nine kills on a career-high .800 hitting percentage. However, no Racer was in double figures in kills for the first time since their loss to Northern Iowa on Sept. 26.Â
Murray State hit .158 on the match compared to Illinois State's .396, and the Racers lost the dig battle 29-35. Sam Nelson led the Racers with eight digs while seven different Racers recorded kills.
The Racers will return home Saturday at 5 p.m. CT to take on Bradley in their season finale. Seniors Paige Brock, Lily Evans, Alexa Watts and Bailey Keusch will be honored before the match.
