Missouri Tennis Loses Momentum in Loss to No. 8 Auburn: The Buzz, March 24, 2025

The University of Missouri Tennis was unable to win against No. 8 Auburn on Sunday, March 23, and dropped the match 4-0. Missouri began the afternoon with a score of 0-1 in doubles play. The match between Missouri's Mary Brumfield and Korina Roso and Auburn's No. 16 pair DJ Bennett and Ava Hraster was left unfinished with a score of 2-4.
