Kim Muhl was not entirely happy with his women's basketball team at Kirkwood last season.
The Eagles went 28-5 and captured another conference title, but Muhl had trouble communicating with the club at times.
Dysfunctional, he called them.
Some graduated. Some left the program on their own. Some were not invited back.
BOONE - The fourth-ranked Kirkwood Eagles lost to No.19 DMACC, 25-15, 22-25, 25-18, 25-20, in a battle of top conference volleyball teams Wednesday night in Boone.

Former Kennedy golfer Harrison Moore claimed top honors at Kirkwood's Fall Eagle Classic Monday at Hunters Ridge.
Moore finished in first place with rounds of 70 and 73 for a 36-hole total of 1-under-par 143 to help Indian Hills Community College win the title. He beat teammate Jakob Garstecki by two shots.

CLINTON - Erin Walker collected 12 kills Thursday night as No.4 Kirkwood sailed past Clinton, 25-11, 25-17, 25-9, in an ICCAC volleyball match in Clinton.
Erin Walker led the Eagles (23-5, 7-0) with 12 kills. Heather Poula had eight smashes.

The fourth-ranked Kirkwood volleyball team breezed to a 25-8, 25-15, 25-17 victory over Iowa Lakes in an ICCAC match Wednesday night at Johnson Hall.
Heather Poula led the Eagles (22-5, 6-0) with 12 kills. Erin Walker had 10 kills and Payton Hilton eight.
Amber Timmins collected 28 assists. Cali Beyer had 22 digs.
Bryan Petersen is technically the "interim" head coach of the Kirkwood men's basketball team, but there's no doubt who was in charge Tuesday when the Eagles began preseason drills at Johnson Hall.
Doug Wagemester stepped aside as the head coach after last season and Petersen, one of his assistants, was quickly named to lead the team this season. Wagemester, the school's athletic director, will decide at some point whether he wants to coach the team again next year or not.
In the meantime, Petersen is running the club on his own, although Wagemester's office is just a few steps away if he wants any advice.
Petersen, 26, played for Wagemester at Kirkwood and was a starting point guard at Iowa State. He knows the system and was fully in charge Tuesday.
