How to Watch: No. 12/13 Missouri Softball at Villanova
Just a couple of hours after hearing that they were ranked as the No. 12/13 softball team in the nation, the Missouri Tigers used that boost as momentum in a 20-0 victory over Fordham that ended after five innings.
Nevertheless, just a few hours after completing statistically their best game of the season, the Tiger offense cooled down quite a bit in a matchup against Hofstra. However, Mizzou prevailed 2-1 in the ninth inning.
On Saturday, March 30, Missouri will travel to Villanova to play the red-hot Wildcats, who have won their last 10 contests. The Tigers are aiming to continue their stellar start to the season, but playing a team on the road with a double-digit win streak is almost always a challenge.
