Soccer Visits Missouri Friday

NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma soccer team travels to Missouri for a Friday night Southeastern Conference showdown in Columbia. First touch is set for 7 p.m. on SEC Network+.

The Sooners are 15th in the SEC standings with four points. The top 12 teams in the table make the conference tournament, with Missouri currently standing above the cut line with seven points.
