Missouri State lost 31-14 to Western Illinois on homecoming weekend in Plaster Stadium.
While Katie Verry and Andre McIntyre won homecoming queen and king, Western Illinois running back Steve McShane was the star of the on-the-field homecoming. McShane went for 150 yards on 19 carries from the backfield and accounted for two of the four Leatherneck touchdowns.
The Missouri State defense couldn’t hold the Leathernecks in any way. The Leathernecks offense converted 10 of their 17 third down attempts. Two of Western Illinois’ touchdowns came from over 90-yard drives.
The Bears couldn’t get the offense up either.
