Mizzou Soccer entered Friday night’s SEC opener against the no. 23 Auburn Tigers with one goal in mind, and said goal had not been accomplished by a team playing Auburn this season. Win. And they did just that.
The game started off as a slugfest between both sides, with five fouls being registered for each team before a shot was even tallied in this game. Auburn came in sporting a reputation to incite physicality, and they really showcased that. However, a Mizzou defense consisting of regular starters Megan Oduyoye, Grace Pettet, and Rachel Kutella were up to the daunting task of stopping the Top-25 team’s offense.
