The Tigers took five of the six individual matches and two out of three doubles matches to take the win.Mizzou was without Cassie Drake, who is currently tied for the most wins in a season by an MU player with 21 victories. Drake was out with an illness and will have to wait until April 21 when the Tigers welcome Texas to Columbia to try and set the season wins record.
