For the second straight game, the Missouri soccer team headed into overtime after 90 minutes of missed opportunities. After outshooting Illinois 24-7, Mizzou once again found themselves giving up a late, game tying goal in the second half.
“It kinda frustrates us sometimes when we have a lot of shots and they aren’t going in,” sophomore Lauren Gaston said. “Our confidence is high; it just makes us realize we can actually get goals from this.”
But none of those mistakes mattered after Mizzou’s Melanie Donaldson gave the Tigers (2-1) a 3-2 win off her penalty kick in the 95th minute.
