COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The University of Missouri (7-19, 2-11 SEC) lost to No. 6 Texas A&M (27-1, 13-0 SEC) in its final regular season SEC match, 4-0, on Sunday morning.
The Tigers competed against a deep Aggie roster, facing two ranked doubles pairs and three ranked singles players. In doubles play, Bronte Murgett and Gabriela Martinez took on No. 2 Tatiana Makarova and Jayci Goldsmith. Elys Ventura and Emelie Schwarte faced No. 44 Carson Branstine and Mary Stoiana.
Mizzou dropped the doubles point and moved on to singles action where Murgett played No. 16 Branstine, Wright competed against No. 18 Makarova, and Ventura took on No. 64 Stoiana. Murgett made a strong second set comeback against Branstine, but closely dropped the match. Schwarte played Goldsmith and nearly defeated her in the second set before competition was halted. Texas A&M soon clinched the match and play was stopped.
"Today was a great moment in our program history. Two of the greatest Tigers ever, played their last home match" said head coach Chris Wootton. "We are grateful to Ellie and Bron for all they have done. Thank you to all all our fans and Mizzou family for being loud and rowdy at the match today."
Mizzou will enter the SEC Tournament this week in Gainesville, Florida. Schedules have not yet been released but coverage will be provided for the match.
