In the midst of a four-game SEC losing streak after winning their conference opener, the Missouri Tigers were looking to bounce back big against a ranked opponent at home. The No. 13 South Carolina Gamecocks became the third ranked team to enter Audrey J Walton Track Soccer Stadium this season, with the previous two beating the Tigers by one goal each.
Not only were the Tigers coming in on a losing streak, but they were coming in on a streak that consisted of four straight one goal losses. Head Coach Stefanie Golan took to Twitter (Or X, I refuse to call it that) to express her thoughts on her team being unable to squeeze out wins in the close games.
