[00:00:14] Speaker A: Hello.
[00:00:14] Speaker B: Welcome to the Roundhouse podcast with Paul Solentrop of Wichita State University strategic communications. Our guest today is Wichita State volleyball coach Chris Lamb. He's going to wrap up spring drills. Shocker's played a variety of teams throughout the spring, most recently Kansas and Missouri. Up in Lawrence, they all also faced Creighton, Arkansas, Omaha, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Kansas State, among others this spring. Last season, the Shockers went 26 and 815 and four in the American Athletic Conference. They won the National Volleyball Invitational championship last fall, defeating Arkansas State, Tulsa, Drake, Montana State and UTEP. Back for the Shockers, we'll give you a little refresher. Two second team all conference picks from last fall, setter Izzy Strand and middle Morgan Stout, in addition to most of the Liberos and DS's in that position. So, Chris, Shockers won. The NIVC played really well in those matches. How does that experience help the returners get going this spring?
[00:01:18] Speaker C: Well, it. Wow. So I'll just kind of answer this differently.
I've been asked before about what would you rather do? Have a run through this nit type tournament, which we call the NIVC, or make the NCAA tournament and likely be out in one or two rounds? And women's volleyball, it's regional, so we're not seeded throughout the country yet. I say yet because hopefully one day, so we always end up with, you know, Nebraska or Texas. And a couple times we've gotten Kansas. So, you know, it's great to make the tournament and it's great to participate in the tournament. But this NIVC thing, while it's one notch below the NCAA tournament, you know, I think it's a good question to ask.
What do you think about if you're able to make a run through that tournament through a bracket? Well, so this year we went all the way through the bracket. We went to the final and we won the championship. And I got to admit, it was real exciting to just have, you know, a team with a day or two to prepare, you know, on to the next. Day or two to prepare on to the next.
There was some excitement to that for me, having played myself, you know, brackets, double elimination brackets were a big part of what we used to do. So just moving through a bracket had a, had a nice little feel to it, and it was fun for me to kind of feel that again.
So that part was great, the part about developing for the future. And I think your question was like, how did that go?
I feel like we were really fresh at the end of the year.
You know, we were having to deal with Briley Kelly's Ab and hip flexor. So Briley was basically a day to day throughout the whole year. And near the end of the season, with about a month to go, we finally started training as if she wouldn't be available because she really didn't get to play much. And that lineup, that rotation, as you say in volleyball, was really good. I mean, we were. We were efficient. We were good, and, you know, with about a month to go all the way to the finish line, I just. I felt we were young and fresh, and we were playing really good volleyball down the stretch and then getting into that tournament, I mean, we only lost one set in that deal. And, you know, the competition was pretty good, and I feel like it was just sometimes novel concepts are good, just throwing something new, and it kind of gets people rejuvenated. Maybe there's just something to be said for that.
But, yeah, we.
We were able to host games. The Shocker fans came out. It was fun, a lot of tv publicity, and word got out, and we knew it, players knew it, and I think it ended up being a home run for us. I'm glad we were able to participate, and, of course, I'm glad we got to make a long run. And obviously, it's never a bad thing to win a championship.
[00:04:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I think, as we've seen in basketball at Wichita State, you get over maybe the initial disappointment of not going to the NCAA, start winning matches, fans get on board, and it can be a really good experience.
So you gathered the Shockers for the first meeting of the spring.
What was the message? What'd you talk about when you first got together?
[00:05:06] Speaker C: Well, so, you know, the building of a new lineup, you know, it wasn't like the canvas was completely blank, but, you know, different people in different spots, so, you know, usual suspects, but are they playing a different role? Who's going to join the team?
You know, now we've got this transfer portal. Is anybody going to be coming in, freshmen coming in next year? You know, do we. Do we train as if we expect some newcomer in August to take over at a particular position?
Do we think they're going to be more of a support backup role? And our starting lineup is right here in front of us. I mean, there's questions to ask, and, you know, you go through the process of trying to train certain lineups.
So we are sort of acting as if we know. Well, when I say that throughout this spring, we were sort of acting as if we suspected a newcomer to have a role on our team and let's train as if she would be in that role and therefore using, you know, our other component pieces if you will to build something that's efficient and can score enough points because we graduated Natalie Foster at her position. She was the leading point scorer in terms of volume which is the m two spot. Sophia Rowling was the top right side player.
So we had some, we have some points to search for and find as we put next year's system together.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: What's the biggest thing you learned throughout the spring?
[00:07:03] Speaker C: Well everybody we play marvels that are passing and defense. There's not a coach out there that if you interview him before a game what do you need to do tonight? The word passing. Hope we pass. Well everybody we played I think feels we outpassed them.
That's Gabby Moss, Katie Galligan, Reagan Anderson, tiger, Annalee Hastelli, Emerson Wilfer. I mean I feel like that was a nice strength to our team.
Also I feel like we play a pretty balanced offense. We will need to continue to do that we did last year. I feel like that's continued through the spring. But I still think a major question to ask is where's 1718 points a game going to come from? Because that's what it's going to take to be amongst the leaders in this conference and we're still going to have to make.
We'll see. We'll see how we're going to do it. But it's not like it's a no brainer that we've got it. We've got some work to do.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: Yeah. You mentioned the people that have departed, Natalie Foster and Sophia Rowling, Briley Kelly, Barbara Kohler.
Tell us a little bit about the search for point scorers this spring. Who looked good? Who did you turn to?
[00:08:26] Speaker C: Well so I think a big piece to this is Mattie Wilson. So Madison is here basically to become Morgan Stout's replacement as the m one. I mean that's why we brought her here with having that kind of aptitude and ability and you know you could argue that she could go get it right now.
However, Maddie is unique. She can play both middle positions well. She could play on the right side. We think she could play on the left side. When I mentioned earlier that with Sarah Barham coming in as a transfer from Wolford we brought her in expecting that she would be able to handle the m two role not in the same way Natalie Foster did.
More like in the past like with Ashley Andrade. Maybe I won't put the pressure on her to be Abby Lehman's equal, same style of offense I think will work for Sarah. So she's here to do that job well. Okay, now you got Madison, who has a great set of skills.
So, you know, we're calling her Maddie. Excuse me, Maddie, everything.
You know, we went up. Our first. Our first spring outing was up at K State. And I mean, I think they outscored us three to one in terms of point scoring. They made their mistakes and we survived some rallies, but just in terms of straight up kills, it was pretty obvious. Where are you going to score points after K state? I let that influence how I want to train because we played K State. Then we had spring break and I came back, I said, you know, we're going to act as if Maddie's going to become an outside hitter, a right set player for a little while here and train the heck out of it. Well, all that did was get better and better each week as she got more and more comfortable. So a big part of where the spring ended up going had a lot to do with that developing in that way. So, you know, we played most of spring without Izzy, our setter. And, you know, Morgan stoud is still going to do. We're still going to be very, very careful with her foot. So, you know, we're sort of piecing that together little by little, trying to bring her back. But sorry for the long winded answer, but the spring really became about, you know, the direction that points scoring took us.
What can we score? How can we do it? What are the strengths of our roster and where can points come from? And you're thinking, well, Maddie can do this, so it's time to just go all in and let her develop right up to the end. She just kept improving there. So I hope that's a good answer for you.
[00:11:51] Speaker B: That's a fine answer. I will remind people Maddie Wilson is a red shirt sophomore. She's from Colorado Springs, Colorado. You mentioned Sarah Barham, who will join the team in August. She's a transfer from Wofford.
Tell the fans a little bit more about her.
[00:12:06] Speaker C: Yeah. So, you know, this transfer portal thing is the new normal you're even having. I see now there's lots of media around. The best transfer class I saw Indiana, and men's basketball apparently is the best transfer portal class.
Something new for us to sink our teeth into. So we had an opportunity this winter into the, you know, in December, January between semesters and, you know, looking at our roster, I was like, well, if there's an elite, quick hitter out there, that's something we should be looking for. If there's a point scoring outside hitter, that's something we should be looking for.
We think we have points on the left coming from a couple freshmen.
Nadia and Gracie will certainly be in that role. And so we decided we'll look for that. But we also know that's walking in the door.
How soon they develop, we won't know. And then again, you know, Matty going to that role, so with Sarah, it's like, you know, she just. I'll tell you what, anybody wants to go back and watch her NCAA match against Kentucky, you know, Kentucky. Kentucky realized they needed to. They needed to get in front of this girl. They needed, it was a priority not to let her have her way. And you could tell watching the video that she was a problem. So just a hungry approach taker. She wants the ball, she gets up, she gets it on her hand. Well, either direction, she can kind of trick or shot her way out of trouble. And when you couple her with Morgan stout, this could be the best pair of middle blockers we've ever had during any one season.
They are both talented enough laterally to get on the scoreboard or get the stash, the touches, and they're just both hungry individuals watching them block. So we're talking about Sarah here. So I just feel like there was an opportunity in our roster and we set out looking for that right away. She became kind of a priority in recruiting, and she came out and visited and thought it would be a nice adventure to come to the midwest for a year and, you know, maybe, maybe go back home, but give it a shot. So very pleasant. Oh, she also has a nice story. You know, not a lot happened for her in recruiting. She pretty much stayed close to home going to Wofford and just, I can only imagine that whatever year that went by, she just kept getting better and better and better and really turned herself into a prolific scorer for the program.
[00:15:09] Speaker B: Emerson Wilford had a good season last season, really played well in the NIVC. Seems like the kind of player who will step into a more prominent role on the front line. Tell us about Emerson Spring.
[00:15:21] Speaker C: Well, for shocker fans, go back to Emily Agnes. I told on the bus leaving Lawrence a couple weeks ago, I kind of did a little recap of the day and the spring on the microphone on the bus, and I said, emerson, you're going to be one of the busiest players in the conference.
There's a handful. There's a handful of girls that will occupy this role of a six rotation outside hitter in the conference.
And you sort of look at, you sort of look at lump all these responsibilities in that role into thirds, you know, and how many of those can Emerson be in the top third? So how will she stack up against those six row kids in the league? As server, as a passer, as a defender, as a blocker, as a scorer.
And, you know, that's. So I issued the challenge because I can remember the day 2011, you know, that season's over. On to twelve, the Sweet 16 team.
You know, I announced that Emily Adney, you're going to be one of the busiest players in the league and they're going to serve you every ball.
They're going to be a priority of everybody's scouting report, preparing for us defensively and you better be ready. And, you know, that season was a grind for Emily. I'll just throw this in there.
I think this just speaks to the volume.
I can remember once I knew Creighton was going to win the conference. We actually changed Emily's role for the last two weeks of the season just to give her a break going into the conference tournament. And then we upset northern Iowa in the semis, lost to Creighton, made the NCAA tournament go down, beat Arkansas, beat KU and onto the Sweet 16. So I just felt for me personally, it was a coaching decision I'll keep with me forever. But it also speaks to what was on Emily Adney's shoulders. And that is what I expect for Emerson this year. You may never look down and see her leading our team in any particular stat, but please know that she's, she will be doing as much as anybody, not just on our team, but maybe in the conference she'll be a top one, two, three, busy player. So really excited that she finished last year's campaign playing really well. And then throughout this spring, she's keeping it going. So excited for, for Emerson because I also can remember when she caught wind of the NCAA giving extra year of eligibility to all these players in front of her. I can remember her being pretty frustrated that she was going to have to wait her turn.
So no more of that now.
She probably got pretty much everything she wanted last year, certainly down the stretch. And now for the next two years. You know, there's in a lot of ways you could say it's Emerson's team and let's see what you can do.
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Emerson was one of three shockers who went to the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs earlier this spring, spent two and a half days out there training, scrimmaging. Also Brooklyn Legget and Morgan Stout, what do players get out of that kind of experience?
[00:18:56] Speaker C: So, neat thing that USA volleyball does.
You know, they try to put their pipeline together. They try to have names of all the up and coming american volleyball players that, you know, obviously one day wear red, white, and blue in the Olympics, but that, you know, there's also world championships that go on each year. And, you know, they've got a pipeline for that. So they're just trying to, you know, get their eyes on top talent and see where everybody's at. It takes a lot to bring those kids to the top. So, you know, in our country, it's, you know, it's college volleyball preparing these kids for the next step. Now we've got a couple pro leagues that have just started that's also part of the next step.
So, you know, just finding girls that young women. Sorry. That, you know, look the part. And they've offered up to the division one coaches. You know, let us see what you got. Izzy wasn't able to go this year because of her risk, but I think Izzy will enjoy a nice, fun career after Wichita state volleyball, and this is her senior year, so this is all part of that. So the college coaches take a look at their roster.
They're going to identify a few players, and we're going to send them out there, and it's a fun experience with other coaches and other athletes, and I think the shockers represented well. Sounds like they all did pretty great. Morgan stout kept filtering up, ended up really on the top court for a bit. I think she finished on the second court. Brooklyn Leggett started out near the bottom and climbed her way up for a bit. And Emerson, pretty much from what I was told, right where they placed her. They kept her there as a busy six row kid, as we've talked about earlier, and I think they got a lot out of it.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: Paul, so you had two newcomers in practices with you this spring. Setter Sarah Mushall, a freshman from St. Charles, Illinois, and outside hitter Alyssa Gonzalez, red shirt freshman transfer from TCU. Tell us a little bit about them. How did they perform in the spring?
[00:21:14] Speaker C: Well, depending on your definition of most valuable player, Sarah became that immediately because with Izzy being out for her wrist, sure a good thing we got young Sarah here at semester because we just don't have another Sutter in the program until the August. So, you know, just the fact that Sarah was here allowed us to train on a normal schedule. Not totally normal, you know, with only one setter. But at least we were able to work on offense and develop offense and go to tournaments against these other teams and play. I mean, it would be. It would be a completely different deal if you didn't have a pitcher, if you didn't have a setter, if you didn't have a quarterback. So, you know, that was a nice gift to have, walk in the door and then just, you know, I've made so many comparisons with Sarah to Emily Hebert.
Hey a they kind of got their break with a wrist injury of another player ahead of them.
Jordan Loney had that wrist issue she came here with and never was able to get it going. So Emily Hebert actually was playing a year ahead of the schedule.
Like Emily Hebert, Sarah doesn't say much, just works hard and is very resilient onto the next play.
I know Sarah knows she goofs up once in a while, but the best part is how quickly she recovers from youthful mistakes that will happen for anybody. I just love how on to the next play she is and also how quickly she advanced.
I think she's got great talent at the position.
She had a great spring, and I think that shocker fans will be very excited to see her running around out there.
She can do it.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: Alyssa.
[00:23:24] Speaker C: So, Alyssa, her assistant coach at TCU, is somebody that I've known for a long time, just a young up and comer. I see her out on the road recruiting. She's a friend of a couple friends, and I've just gotten to know her. And I think when TCU realized that they were going to be going in a different direction, her and Alyssa sat down and we're sort of looking at schools and levels, and she's like, we got to call Lance and coach called me and said, hey, I want you to look at some videotape. And right off the bat I'm like, yeah, what's that? What's Alyssa's story? So I moved from California, got to Alito, Texas, kind of just got herself onto a club team that already had a starting lineup, really. And so she wasn't really highly exposed, but the coaches at TCU knew of her and they got her in the program and, you know, probably wasn't really going to be a point scorer for TCU, and she just wanted to play so good. Young prospect for Wichita State, if you were to compare her to the outside hitters, were recruiting in 2024, 2025, I mean, she really sort of fits the talent.
Said, I mean, her length and her jumping ability and her arm talent. I mean, she's an outside hitter for the american. And then, you know, a skill set more for her. It's more about blocking and attacking than passing and digging at this point.
So as she, as her point scoring goes, so will go her career. So does she have enough to get in that top third of the conference points scoring? That'll be the 36% kill, 37% kills on up. There's only going to be a handful of girls from year to year that are really up there. She's a good block avoider and I just feel like as she does in the weight room and as she improves as a approach taker and attack selector, where she goes for points, so will go her career. Anything we get from her passing and defense early in her career will just be a bonus. I expect that to be a little bit down the road for her, but my hope for her is that she's contributing early as a point scorer.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: We've already mentioned a lot of the shockers, but I'll go ahead and ask. Most pleasant surprise of the spring, anybody jump out at you?
[00:26:09] Speaker C: Well, I'm going to do this.
First of all, just how, I'll say this again, for Sarah Muzial to just be thrown into the fire with, hey, you're all we got and just her maturity in these matches. You got top 20 teams on the other side of the net and half of our matches, or more than half of our matches. And I just love how she just didn't buckle. So, I mean, it was a very pleasant surprise to see how mature Sarah handled this. You know, this ride we put her on for two months. That was great. Yes.
[00:26:51] Speaker B: Who would have been your emergency center or what would you have done?
[00:26:54] Speaker C: Well, we would have talked to, we would have talked to our opponents and said, you know, hey, can we play? Can we play scramble? I mean, there's a way to play volleyball all out of system. I mean, I don't know if the coaches would have agreed to it, but, you know, you could have said, hey, when we're playing, let's just, you know, let's just do all this back row. Basically it's not real volleyball, it's a drill. But I would have asked coaches if they'd wanted to try to do that. But, you know, we maybe could have talked to Morgan Weber. She still could play. Morgan Weber could have come back and probably had fun running around doing that. Annalee probably would have been in the mix for that, but yeah, but thankfully we don't have to have that conversation. Other surprises. Mattie Wilson just improving wherever we put her.
All things little, all things libero, all things ds, I mean, our. Our collection. Reagan, tiger, analyticolor tiger. Katie and Gabby. I just think as a group, you know, I mean, I'll say it right now, I expect them to be one or two as a group in the conference. We'll see when we get there. But these guys have been fantastic. I don't know if I'm going to say that was a surprise, because I kind of feel that way about them, but, you know, I feel pretty good about that.
At the end of the spring, Brooklyn Leggett's kill percentage stayed high, but dropped her error percentage in half. So she's just playing cleaner.
The freshman middles, Haley Wolf and Ally Paulson. Once we. Once we moved Maddie to the pin and Morgan was out with her foot, it was on them. And I think they both would tell you they feel pretty good about their progress in the spring. I mean, I hate that. I feel like I'm missing something because, you know, I expected Emerson to carry this load, and she did. Oh, here's another one. If I don't say this and no one would know. I am so proud of how Izzy Strand handled being out. And then she got less than good news coming back. They decided to keep her in that cast a little bit longer. And I can speak to that. I was casted for eight weeks and then came back to find out they wanted two more. They wanted eleven instead, three more. And it didn't make me happy. And I love how Izzy was just mature and how much she helped Sarah and then blew me away when she actually came back. How quickly she was able to almost look like she was never even out. I think that surprised everybody. But just real nice to see how Izzy handled a tough situation. Adversity, as we say, maybe learn some things along the way. Because she was a teammate, she did everything the doctors and trainers asked her to do. When she came back, she came back ready to roll.
That was terrific.
Yeah. So I hope I'm not leaving anything out, but there was a lot to like. Paul, from this spring shockers will go.
[00:30:26] Speaker B: To Brazil in May for ten days. Three matches, from what I understand. First, you have your passport. I asked Katie Galligan and Emerson Wilford just to double check that. So I gotta ask you.
[00:30:37] Speaker C: I got my passport.
I think we're ready to go.
Excited to get him in here. In a couple weeks. We get. NCAA gives us ten days to practice. So not everybody will be here for all ten days, as there several are, you know, graduating high school. And you can't be here before. Before you grant, there's just some rules about newcomers, but, you know, I'll be happy to get that rolling. Fingers crossed on what Morgan will be able to do. We're certainly not gonna risk anything with Morgan stout.
You know, she needs to be ready to go in August, so we'll sort of keep an eye on what's going on with Morgan's foot, but a lot of it has to do with how she feels. I saw her last night at our banquet, and she hasn't had pain in a while. So I suspect there'll be some return to play protocols in front of us here as we get closer to practice, and we'll see how that goes. But I want this for Morgan, and I want her to be able to go over there and experience this on the court.
[00:31:47] Speaker B: Do you have a feel for the level of competition you will face?
[00:31:50] Speaker C: So when we chose Brazil over Europe, part of that decision was, per the company that takes us over there, they've been able to secure desired competition better than Europe. In Europe, you're sort of getting what you get. Sounds like they're able to talk with the brazilian teams, find out where you're at and line them up so they know we're coming off of a really good season, a top 50 ish team. So they're able to say, okay, we want these teams for you. So I have a feeling that when we're looking across the net, it'll be everything we are and more, which is what our spring was. K state and Ku in Missouri and Creighton.
You know, we had some all Americans on the other side of the net, and I hope to see the same physicality and ball speed when we go down to Brazil.
[00:32:52] Speaker B: So we've mentioned the transfer portal several times. It's becoming more and more important now. You have several years of experiencing it. What have you learned? How does WSU best fit into that transfer portal world?
[00:33:09] Speaker C: I think I want to say it this way.
The same players that will reach out and connect with us in the portal didn't really give us the time of day in high school.
There is sort of a status that these recruits have, the status that their club coaches have for them, and you just feel like based on who they are and what club they're with, they're out of reach. Even though you look at them, you're like, well, that girl wouldn't walk in here and be our best player, but they don't know that.
They sort of have things set up in their brain where they belong.
Then transfer portal comes along and we reach out to somebody's girl. And, you know, now they want to talk. And I'm not blaming anybody for this, but I will just tell you from my chair that, you know, there's been, there's been athletes that we've been able to connect with that were just not someone I think we would have gotten much from the first go around. So, you know, talking with other coaches, some of them will say, yeah, I'll probably have three athletes from the portal for every one high school athlete. I mean, it sounds crazy, but I could see it. So I feel like I don't know that that's the ratio that I would be on. But, you know, the girls that, the young women, I keep saying girls, sorry.
These ladies that we're bringing in are also coming in pretty ready to play. So sometimes they're older, like Sarah's fifth year senior, Barbara last year was a junior college player of the year. So, you know, there's that, too. SMU, just to put some perspective in it. All they've been doing for the last three years is lining up juniors and seniors starters, all conference players. So you're just like, you got these dream teams over there and they know it, so they're just going to keep doing it because they're just a desired destination.
People want to go there. People want to graduate from there, and you can see how they'll just continue to see what the portal has to offer. So, you know, I just feel like that's one example.
I could cite others and things that I've learned from coaches, but, yeah, we didn't, we didn't participate, participate in it the first two years because my team was so young when it started and we were sort of waiting for graduation. But now that we're in there, yeah, it's a part of it. We're waiting for May 1. Now. We've been sitting on an opportunity this entire time. We've been sitting, waiting. So we didn't pull the trigger on some things we had going with unsigned seniors in high school or kids we thought we could have brought in in December because we didn't necessarily get what we, what we would have wanted. We weren't going to reach. And we're going to be looking at the transfer portal May 1 when it opens up and seeing what might be there for us. But you don't exactly know what's going to be there, so. And the recruiting in the portal happens really, really fast. It's not like you're going to get to know people very, very well.
So that's the other side of it. But, yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna continue to participate that way.
[00:36:46] Speaker B: I've heard other coaches around the department say that they feel where the transfer portal is helpful at Wichita State. Is that kind of like you described? An athlete goes to a school, kind of has the shiny things in mind, the conference, those kind of things. And then maybe after a year or two, they realize other things are more important, and coaches feel like those are things WiChita State does well as far as student services, academic support, all those kind of things, coaching, and then you get kids who are kind of changed their priorities. Does that resonate with you? Do you feel like that's where Wichita State can make some progress?
[00:37:21] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's anything most people don't know or wouldn't understand, but, you know, around the perimeter of the country, Wichita, you know, it's not like everybody's got that on their mind, but as they go through college athletics, they learn a little bit more about themselves and what may be important to them now as a junior in college rather than a junior in high school, maybe it's a more pragmatic or practical way of evaluating. And now all of a sudden, hey, what about those guys? So, yeah, if that's what the other coaches are saying, I'm on board with that.
[00:38:00] Speaker B: What's the car or handyman project that is occupying the famous Chris Lamb garage this summer?
[00:38:08] Speaker C: Right now it's our basement. I've torn out my large oak build in. Amazing. You're taking oak to the dump. My dad, if he was alive today, would probably beat me with a stick if he knew I was pulling oak out. But, you know, it just wasn't our thing. Ripped it all out and made a nice build in with a fireplace. One of these low, horizontal, kind of fake fireplaces. You see, now I got a. Going to be putting a tv above it and some cabinets, so. Already did the floors.
Now I'm just trying to finish up that back wall and paint and hopefully have it all done before Sydney's graduation party. Coming up here in a couple weeks. I'm at the home stretch. Thanks for asking.

A strike three call on the outside corner and Tyler Green has pitched the fourth no hitter in Wichita State history, the second in as many years as he joins fellow classmate Charlie Jindrome as the author of a Wichita State no hitter and in the process struck out a career high 13, including all three outs in the 9th inning. Tyler Green completes a no hitter and Wichita State defeats New Mexico twelve to nothing.
