KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Missouri Southern volleyball will receive additional international television exposure this fall through a new content licensing agreement between the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) and Metta Sport, bringing select MIAA Network broadcasts to popular sports streaming networks like RYZ Sports Network and Sports Illustrated TV (SI-TV).
 
The new partnership grants Metta Sport's networks access to select MIAA volleyball, football, basketball, wrestling, softball and baseball games/matches for international TV exposure. All MIAA broadcasts will utilize the video and audio directly from The MIAA Network live stream.

Two Missouri Southern volleyball matches are scheduled to air through the new partnership this fall. The Lions' home match against Washburn on Saturday, Oct. 31, will be broadcast on SI-TV, while Southern's road match at Nebraska Kearney on Friday, Nov. 6, will air on RYZ Sports Network.
