Where Mizzou Softball Ranks After Week 2
The Missouri softball team is off to a perfect 10-0 start to the season after two full weeks.
Three of these victories were decided earlier than expected as the Tiger run-ruled those opponents after five innings. Perhaps Mizzou's best win thus far was against then-No. 5/7 Clemson in the NFCA Division I Leadoff Classic Championship by a score of 4-1.
Missouri has climbed up the rankings and into the top-15 in both the USA Softball and NFCA Coaches polls. Twelve of the 13 SEC softball programs are in this week's top-25.
Here's where Mizzou stands after two weeks:
