The Sunday match of a two-match weekend on the road is always a physical and mental challenge, but I thought we showed some maturity today. There’s lot of stuff we can still get better at, but we’re slowly but surely picking away at them.”

Missouri (16-4, 6-2 SEC) will head back home to take on Auburn (8-10, 1-7 SEC) Friday at 6 p.m. at Mizzou Arena.
