1) Missouri State begins the 2022 campaign at home with the annual Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational at Hammons Student Center. Tennessee Tech, Central Arkansas and Oral Roberts come to Springfield for this year's event. The Bears are at home on opening weekend for just the second time in the last 15 seasons (2019).

2) Missouri State is 18-5 at home and 13-4 in non-conference matches under third-year head coach Steven McRoberts. The Bears own a winning record at Hammons Student Center in 23 consecutive seasons and have won 77 percent of their matches in 46 years in the facility.

3) McRoberts was the head coach at weekend opponent Central Arkansas from 2005-10, compiling a 146-58 record and winning Southland Conference Coach of the Year honors three times at UCA. McRoberts is 2-0 against UCA as MSU's head coach.

4) MSU has 18 games scheduled in Missouri this season, with three-game tournaments at Missouri and Saint Louis in addition to 12 home contests.
