The Missouri softball team started this past week with two victories over Illinois, but lost all three of its games against now-No. 7-ranked Tennessee in the first series of SEC play.

The wins over Illinois couldn't be more different as the Tigers' two-run seventh inning helped them prevail 5-4 in game one and they run-ruled the Fighting Illini 10-2 after five innings in game two.

However, each of Mizzou's losses to Tennessee was fairly similar, as the Tigers were run-ruled 9-0 in game one and scored a combined two runs compared to the Lady Volunteers' 12 in games two and three.

Here is where Missouri is ranked after six full weeks of play.
