After dropping two games in a row to LSU and Vanderbilt respectively, Missouri soccer came away with a 0-0 tie Friday against No. 21 Mississippi State. 

Mississippi State entered Columbia as a formidable SEC opponent, led by freshman forward Maggie Wadsworth with seven goals and junior goalkeeper Maddy Anderson’s 84.6% save percentage. Even so, the Tigers remained aggressive against the Bulldogs’ defense.

Missouri attempted 10 shots on goal compared to Mississippi State’s seven. Off the bench, sophomore forward Kylie Dobbs recorded four shots in just 47 minutes of play. Despite the pressure against the Mississippi State defense, however, the Tigers could not get a point on the board.

Missouri redshirt freshman goalkeeper Bella Hollenbach notched her third shutout of the season. Hollenbach had a total of six saves on the night, recording three of those during a 15 second sequence in the second half. 

Hollenbach slid on her feet to save the first shot after a Mississippi State corner kick, got back up to block the second attempt, and launched the ball away from Missouri’s goal on the third try from Mississippi State. 

The Tigers fell to a 4-5-2 record after Friday’s loss and will now set their eyes on Tennessee this Thursday in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Volunteers are the fourth seed in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), right above the Tigers in fifth. While Friday may not have been a win, a tie against a ranked team is a positive for the Tigers heading into a rival SEC game.
