Tulsa's Molly Fitzsimmons notched the only goal of the match as the Golden Hurricane edged Missouri State 1-0 Sunday at Cooper Sports Complex.
The Golden Hurricane, who snapped a three-game losing streak with the win, improve to 4-5 overall. The Bears had a seven-game unbeaten string halted and dip to 7-3-1 on the season.
Fitzsimmons scored her first goal of the season in the sixth minute of the game, heading the ball over Missouri State goalkeeper Jackie Jasper off a corner kick.
The Bears narrowly missed tying the game just a short minute later as Tulsa goalkeeper Meredith Hart found herself one-on-one with MSU's Angela Parsons. Parsons slid the ball just a few inches wide, knocking the right post.
Chelsea Anderson led the offense for the Bears, posting five shots and two on goal. The Bears registered 15 shots as a team, one more than the Golden Hurricane. Jasper recorded seven saves in the match and Tulsa's Hart had six.
