STILLWATER, Okla. - The Missouri soccer team suffered a 2-0 loss to the No. 2/3 Oklahoma State Cowgirls Sunday afternoon in Stillwater, Okla. The Tigers dropped to 8-4 overall and 0-2 in Big 12 Conference play with the loss, while the Cowgirls improved to 13-0 and 2-0, respectively.
Oklahoma State's Abbey Akin notched the game-winner in the 34th minute when she scored off a rebound.
