- The Tigers own a 3-1-1 edge in the series with the Bulldogs. Last year the two teams earned a 1-1 draw.
- Missouri concluded its nonconference schedule with a 3-1 win over Weber State on Sunday. The Tigers went 5-2-0 against non-SEC teams, including a 5-1-0 mark at Walton Stadium.
- Junior Allie Hess notched five points against Weber State with two goals and an assist. She now ranks second on the squad with nine points.
- All nine of Hess' points have come over the last five games.
- The Tigers have scored 21 goals less exactly halfway through the regular season. Last year, Mizzou tallied 25 goals in all 19 contests.
- Mizzou has scored three or more goals in five of its nine games so far this year. The 2015 team reached the mark only five times in 19 contests.
- Mizzou opened SEC play with a 5-0 win at Ole Miss on Sept. 9. The five goals were the most-ever by the Tigers in an SEC game and the most for the team since a 5-1 win over Pacific on Aug. 23, 2013.
- Freshman Sarah Luebbert leads the Tigers with 13 points on five goals and three assists. She needs only one more point and one more goal to enter Mizzou's freshmen top-10 list for both categories.
