Missouri softball has the chance Saturday to win its first ever SEC tournament championship. The Tigers have made the title game twice but fell short in both 2013 and 2022.

No. 5 seed placed Missouri will face off against No. 2 seed Florida at 4 p.m. central in Auburn.

In Missouri's series against Florida from April 12-14 in Columbia, the Tigers won two out of three games. Missouri outscored Florida 12-8 during the series.

The Tigers, coached by Larissa Anderson, earned their spot in the SEC title game with a thrilling win over No. 8 seed LSU. Senior Maddie Gallagher scored both of Missouri's runs in the 2-1 win, including a walk-off sac fly.
