Mizzou Tiger Soccer picked up their first SEC loss of the season yesterday after a hard-fought win against the Florida Gators last Friday, at the hands of the Auburn Tigers.
Auburn came off a season-opening loss to Mississippi State, and it was pretty obvious coming into this game that the taste of that loss hadn’t completely washed out yet.
The oddly-colored Tigers struck first with an 11th minute goal that took an odd bounce off a free kick and snuck into the near-side corner of the goal. There was a lot of traffic in front of the net which made it hard for Bella Hollenbach in the Mizzou goal to see the ball, which is why the ball went in despite its low speed heading towards the net.
