ESPN Events announced Thursday that Missouri volleyball will host Stanford in the 2025 “Showdown at the Net,” a Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference Challenge.
The matchup will take place at a time that has yet to be announced on Sept. 9 at the Hearnes Center. Fans can watch on ESPN.
The Tigers have only faced Stanford twice, and they have yet to grab a win. The last time the two teams met was in 2006 in the NCAA Tournament in December. Stanford won that game 3-2.
Other teams will compete at the event as well. Those matchups include Texas A&M against SMU on ESPN2, Georgia Tech against Tennessee on SECN, and more.
