Missouri offense finds rhythm in upset over No. 22 Kentucky

The Missouri soccer team must have been tired of hearing about their scoring woes when they walked into Lexington, Kentucky, to play the Kentucky Wildcats on Friday night.

Coming into the game, the Tigers had only scored eight goals in nine games and had not scored a goal in 204 straight minutes.

The drought ended early with sophomore midfielder Savannah Trujillo turning around a defender inside the 18-yard box. She then ripped a shot from just outside the 6-yard box past the Wildcat goalkeeper to put the Tigers up 1-0 in the 13th minute.

Just seconds later, junior Jessica Johnson capitalized on a Kentucky miscue to tap in an easy goal, putting Missouri up 2-0 in the 14th minute.
