TIGER TIDBITS
- Mizzou owns a 3-1-2 record in first round games.
- The all-time series with Kansas is tied 10-10-1 and is tied 1-1-0 in NCAA Tournament contests.
- Freshman forward Sarah Luebbert was named the SEC Freshman of the Year, as voted on by the league's head coaches. She is only the second Tiger to ever earn conference freshman or newcomer of the year honors, joining Alysha Bonnick in 2007.
- Senior midfielder Melanie Donaldson claimed a spot on the All-SEC first team, while Luebbert, senior midfielder Lauren Selaiden and junior midfielder Kaitlyn Clark were named to the second team. Luebbert also earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team.

- Before this season, the last time the Tigers recovered from a 2-0 deficit was on Oct. 21, 2011, when Mizzou notched a 3-2 win over Kansas after trailing 2-0 in the 82nd minute.
- The Tigers are 3-1-2 in overtime matches this season, with wins over Mississippi State, Illinois and Colorado, ties with Texas A&M and Florida and a loss to Iowa.
