On Tap This Weekend

• Mizzou Soccer will go for its second-straight win at home on Friday night, hosting LSU.
• The match will kick off at 7 p.m. (Central) and stream on SEC Network+, with Nate Gatter and Simon Rose handling play-by-play and analyst duties, respectively.

Last Time Out

• Mizzou lost on the road to Tennessee, 2-1, in a match that came down to the final minutes at Regal Soccer Stadium.
• The Vols went up 2-0 in the second half, but a goal from Zoe Cross – the first of her career – in the 79th minute brought the Tigers back to life.
• Mizzou fired off a season-high 20 shots to constantly put Tennessee on its heels, but they were unable to find the equalizer in the final 10 minutes.
• The loss continues a streak of 13-straight winless matches on the road in SEC play for Mizzou. The last time Mizzou won a conference match on the road was a 2-1 victory at Kentucky, on Oct. 8, 2017.

Scouting Report

• In the first year under head coach Sian Hudson, LSU has opened the season 0-3, falling to Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
• The visiting Tigers have been shutout twice, with their lone goal coming against Mississippi State this past Sunday. LSU has registered only 36 shots on the season – 13 on goal.
• In between the sticks, LSU has rotated between the pair of Mollee Swift and Bella Zanotelli. Both have registered a save-percentage above 69 percent, as LSU has faced 50 shots on the season.
• Mizzou is looking for its first win over LSU since a 2-0 victory on Oct. 26, 2017 in Columbia, Mo.
• The last meeting between the two programs was a 3-2, double-overtime thriller in the opening round of the SEC Tournament in 2018. Julissa Cisneros posted a brace for Mizzou, including a goal in the 85th minute to send the match to overtime. A hat-trick from LSU's Alex Thomas proved to be too much for the Black and Gold, as her goal in the 104th minute eliminated Mizzou.

Blitz-ing Towards Another Milestone

• Mizzou head coach Bryan Blitz, the lone head coach in program history, is one-win shy of 250 wins in his career roaming the sidelines in Mid-Missouri.

• Florida's Becky Burleigh, Texas A&M's G Guerrieri and South Carolina's Shelley Smith are the only coaches in the league to win 250 games at their current institution.
• Auburn's Karen Hoppa is approaching the milestone with 244 wins with the Tigers.
• Blitz is also fifth amongst his SEC colleagues in career wins with 294, trailing Smith (297), Hoppa (308), Guerrueri (473) and Burleigh (508).
