Sooners Tie Missouri, 1-1, in Columbia

Columbia, Mo. -- The OU soccer team (11-1-1, 3-0-1) kept its 10-game unbeaten streak alive against Missouri (6-4-3, 1-2-2) on Friday night with a 1-1 tie after 110 minutes of action at the Audrey J. Walton Complex.

After a goal in the 83rd minute by senior captain Lauren MacIver, her sixth of the season, it appeared that the Sooners were going to extend its school-record winning streak to 10 games, but Missouri quickly countered three minutes later to tie things up.

Kady Kelly recorded her fourth assist of the season on the Sooners' lone goal.

"I feel like we played well enough to win tonight," said OU head coach Randy Evans. "Our defense really worked hard and I am proud of their effort."

Friday's offensive output was the fewest amount of goals scored by OU since its lone defeat of 2005 on Sept. 2 at then-No. 15 Wisconsin.

OU will conclude the weekend in Lawrence, Kan., against Kansas (6-5-2 overall, 2-2-1 Big 12) on Sunday at 1 p.m. The Jayhawks came away with a 4-1 victory on Friday over Oklahoma State.
