Emporia State overcame a loss in the first set and won three straight sets to beat Truman State 3-1 on the road in the Hornets’ MIAA opener on Wednesday night.
Truman, ranked 19th, was the last team to beat third-ranked ESU, knocking the Hornets out in the Regional Championship in 2008. All-Americans Ting Liu and Arica Shepard both had big nights to help the third-ranked Hornets avenge that loss.
Liu had a game-high 47 assists and Shepard finished with a season-high 20 kills, the 21st time in her career she’s had 20-plus kills.
