Missouri is 5-0 after winning their first match on the road. The Tigers gave Purdue their first home loss of the season. Strong doubles performances set the tone for the big win in West Lafayette. After losing to Purdue last year the Tigers needed to win three singles matches to bring home a win. Urska Juric, Katka Sevcikova, and Mary Barry came through with big singles wins to get the 4-3 victory.
The Tigers head to Colorado this weekend to take on 57th-ranked University of Colorado and the Air Force Academy.
