This story will be updated

Missouri State softball's first NCAA Tournament win since 2011 is going to have to wait at least one more day.

The Bears fell 3-1 to No. 15 Mizzou in the opening game of the Columbia Regional at Mizzou Softball Stadium. It was the first matchup between the in-state rivals since 2015.

Missouri State will play Saturday at 4 p.m. in the first elimination game where it will play the loser of Friday evening's game between Illinois and Arizona. The winner of the first elimination game will play later in the day at 6:30 p.
