Setter Mataiya Barber set the tone for the Lions’ offense over the weekend, dishing out 24 assists and adding seven digs in Friday’s four-set win over Arkansas–Fort Smith. She followed that up with eight assists, 13 digs, and a pair of aces in Saturday’s matchup with No. 7-ranked Central Oklahoma. The senior from Denton, Texas, registered 32 assists (4.57 assists/set) and 20 digs (2.86 digs/set) with two aces as Missouri Southern volleyball split its pair of home MIAA matches.
