NORMAL, Ill. – Despite a strong effort, Illinois State (5-9-3, 3-4-2 MVC) fell to MVC-leading Missouri State (10-4-3, 8-0-1 MVC) 1-0 Thursday night at Adelaide Street Field.

Illinois State weathered an early storm from the Bears, who struck in the 11th minute, and fought for an equalizing goal but couldn't connect. Illinois State nearly had a 1-0 lead of its own, as Eiley Henderson's header near the post went wide in the opening minute of play.
