The Missouri Tigers earned their first result of the season that wasn’t a win, moving to 2-0-1 after a 2-2 draw against the Omaha Mavericks. The Tigers played the Mavericks last season as well, though that match was in Omaha and drew a 1-1 tie. Expectations for this year’s team are higher, however. After all, they beat Southeast Missouri State 4-0 in their opener, and didn’t allow a shot in the game for the first time since 2001.
Nonetheless, Omaha came in guns-a-blazing out of a 4-3-3 formation which attempts to have the wingers press high up the field in order to make things tough for the Mizzou defenders and force them to make quick decisions.
