NEW COMMIT: Missouri State University has gained two in-state verbal commitments for the fall of 2019 from Hannah Ambling and Karli Sewell, who both swim for Flyers Aquatic Swim Team for Morgan Dodge.

Both swimmers will make an immediate impact in their respective events when they suit up for the Bears as members of the class of 2023. Under head coach Dave Collins, Missouri State clinched their 14th Missouri Valley Conference championship title in program history last season.
