In hopes of getting better acclimated to Colorado, the Missouri women's soccer team arrived in town for Saturday's nonconference battle against the Buffaloes on Thursday, a day earlier than what is generally typical.
The Tigers perhaps should have considered traveling to CU even earlier.
The Buffs wasted little time rendering moot Missouri's preparation, immediately blitzing the Tigers with one of the fastest three-goal flurries in program history before cruising to a 6-0 victory at Prentup Field.
Junior Tatum Barton made her first start of the season and quickly made coach Danny Sanchez's decision a wise one, scoring the Buffs first two goals in a span of 2 minutes, 31 seconds less than five minutes into the contest.
