Missouri softball has moved above .500, earning wins No. 14 and 15 on Saturday.

Missouri first took down Michigan in a 7-3 victory. Michigan was rated No. 22, and Missouri No. 15 in the ESPN/USA Softball Collegiate Preseason Top 25.

Both teams have fallen out of the Top 25 after rocky starts to the season, making the win for Missouri a significant boost to its resume.

Michigan took a 1-0 lead at the top of the first inning, but Missouri's Kara Daly hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning to take a lead that the Tigers would never give back.

Sophomore pitcher Marissa McCann threw a complete game for the sixth time this season, and moved to 6-4 on the season.

In the afternoon, Missouri then took down Quinnipiac in a 7-1 victory. Missouri scored at least one run in each of the first four innings, with Qunnipiac's sole run coming at the top of the fourth.

Missouri moves to 15-13 on the season and will next face Kansas City on Sunday afternoon.
