Coming off its first conference loss of the season, the K-State volleyball team trailed Colorado in the fifth game of Saturday's match. But even then, coach Suzie Fritz said she wasn't worried.

"One of the things I know about this team is they have the ability to turn it around," said Fritz.

"Once they flip that switch and decide it's time to go, they play immensely well."

K-State flipped the switch and won against Colorado and will try to do the same against Missouri at 7 tonight at Ahearn Field House.

The Tigers have struggled lately, losing all three Big 12 Conference matches after starting the season with a 7-2 record.

Missouri swept the series with the Wildcats last season and has won the last four meetings.

The team will try to keep the momentum it had at Colorado.

K-State came back from a 2-1 deficit against Colorado on Saturday before recovering to win 3-2.

The Wildcats got the win despite posting their lowest hitting percentage since early in the season.

"I feel like defensively we wanted to play with a greater sense of urgency," Fritz said. "It was a very spontaneous game.

"There were a lot of unorthodox things that happened in the Colorado match that magnified some things about our team."

Fritz said the loss last Wednesday to Oklahoma taught the team some early lessons about Big 12 play.

"We played relatively well, but we made some tactical errors down the road that just didn't allow us to win it," Fritz said.

"I think what we learned from it is every night out in the Big 12 is going to be like that. You just don't get a break."

K-State is coming off back-to-back five-game matches for the first time this season. The five-game match streak started against Oklahoma, when K-State's streak of five-straight sweeps ended.

"We don't care how many games it takes," Fritz said. "We are just in it to play as well as we can for as long as we have to."
