TIGER TIDBITS
- Texas A&M leads the all-time series with Mizzou 15-5-2, while Mizzou leads the series with Alabama, 2-1.
- Last season, the Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide in overtime, 2-1, and earned a 1-1 draw against the Aggies in the regular season finale.
- The Tigers suffered a close 1-0 loss at then-No. 20 Auburn on Sept. 30.
- The prior weekend, Mizzou went a perfect 2-0 with wins over Kentucky (2-0) and Mississippi State (2-1 in overtime).
- Junior Allie Hess headed in the game-winner over the Bulldogs on Sept. 25 for her fifth goal of the season and 11th point on the year.
- All 11 of Hess' points have come over the last eight games.
- The Tigers have scored 25 goals through 12 games this year to match 2015's full season total.
- Freshman Sarah Luebbert leads the Tigers with 15 points on six goals and three assists.
- Luebbert currently ranks tied for seventh on Mizzou's freshman goals list and tied for eighth on the freshman points list.
- The Tigers are 3-1-0 in overtime matches this season, with wins over Mississippi State, Illinois and Colorado and a loss to Iowa.
- 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.
- Missouri has spread its offense around as five different Tigers found the back of the net against Ole Miss, one week after four Tigers scored against San Francisco on Sept. 2. Overall, 12 different players have scored in 2016.
- Mizzou's win over Central Arkansas marked the first time the squad cameback from a 2-0 deficit since a 3-2 win over Kansas on Oct. 21, 2011. In that contest, the Tigers scored two goals in the 85th and one goal in the 89th minute to record the win.
- Three Tigers earned spots on the 2016 SEC Watch List: junior midfielder Kaitlyn Clark, senior midfielder Melanie Donaldson and senior defender Jasmine Johnson. The Tigers were picked to finish sixth in the SEC Preseason Coaches' Poll, released on Aug. 11. Missouri was also selected sixth a year ago before finishing second in the league standings.
- The Tigers returned eight starters from the 2015 squad that finished second in the Southeastern Conference regular season standings with a 7-2-2 conference mark.
