DURANT, Okla. — Mulerider Volleyball falls to the Tigers and Savage Storm to cap off the Sooner State stretch of the 2024 season as East Central outlasted Southern Arkansas in four sets while Southeastern controlled the match in a three set victory for the Storm. SAU now falls to 9-10 with a 3-8 record in the conference. 

For the weekend, the Muleriders were led in scoring by the senior out of Overland Park, Kansas, Kayte Delong. The Sunflower State native accounted for 22 kills on 56 attacks and acquired just one attack error. Her statistics resulted in a strong .375 hitting percentage that primarily came out of Thursday night's contest at ECU with her 15 kills on 34 attacks and no errors (.441).
