Columbia, Mo.-The University of Missouri women's soccer team falls to 9-6 on the season with a 4-4 Big 12 Conference record after a 5-2 loss to Texas A&M. The victory boosts the Aggies to 8-3-1 and 5-1-1 in the league.
The Aggies controlled the game for the first 60 minutes outscoring the Tigers 4-0. Despite being down, Missouri continued to fight until ultimately finding the net in the 74th minute of the game. Freshman midfielder Lacy Moore put the Tigers on the board heading in a ball lofted in by senior Steph Brennan. Just fifty seconds later, defender Dallas Bird scored her first goal of the season on a long pass from Tamara Kochen. Missouri was unable to build on the momentum however as the team gave up a final goal to the Aggies in the remaining minutes of the game.
Goalkeeper Megan Duncan picks up the loss for Missouri. She played a phenomenal defensive game making five saves. Also adding to the Tiger effort, both Moore and defender Dyana Russell pulled out team saves for Mizzou.
The Tigers continue Big 12 Conference play next Fri., Oct. 26 at 7:00 p.m., when they host Baylor at Audrey J. Walton Soccer Complex.
