Sooners Finish Spring Exhibition Season

NORMAN, Okla. The Oklahoma volleyball team capped off its spring exhibition season with its final tournament at SMU's Moody Coliseum this past Saturday in Dallas, Texas.

The Sooners posted wins over Rice (30-25, 30-24) and North Texas while splitting matches against TCU (30-20, 26-30) and Wichita State (30-28, 26-30).

“We improved in a variety of areas this spring, but there are still things we must improve on before the regular season starts in the fall,” head coach Santiago Restrepo said. “We did a nice job this spring of running our middles well through transition, but we must improve on our serving.”
