Missouri soccer closed out its non-conference schedule against the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). The Tigers (3-3-1) were looking to rebound after losing their home opener to Illinois, 0-2, on September 4. The contest against Illinois showcased the Tigers' offensive skills, outshooting the Fighting Illini 11-6, but they could not break through offensively.

The Tigers started the game strong with a goal in the third minute, when junior defender Mia Yang scored her second career goal. Sophomore forward Emily Deruki set up the play, assisting on the shot that landed in the bottom center of the net. Yang's first career goal came less than two weeks earlier against No. 15 Memphis on August 28, when she scored the tie point.

Missouri continued to play strong defense against Kansas City, preventing them from scoring during the entire game. The Tigers continued to play offensively, recording seven shots on goal heading into halftime. Goalkeeper Kate Phillips played the full match and made a key save in the 53rd minute to maintain the shutout and their early lead.

Missouri will host the University of Texas on Friday, September 12, at 7 p.m. The matchup will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
