How a team starts a soccer game can really set the tone for the rest of the game. The Mizzou Tigers were looking for a hot start as they headed into their conference matchup against the Florida Gators with zero wins against SEC East foes this season.
The Tigers got what they were looking for just two minutes into the game.
Hannah Boughton crossed a ball into the Gator penalty box which eluded two Florida defenders and found the outstretched foot of Elena Zuchowski, who powered the ball home to give the Tigers an early 1-0 lead.
