Box Score | Season Stats | Follow
 
TULSA, Okla. – A one-two scoring punch from Missouri State's Olina Einarsdottir and Emma Skornia late in the second half provided a valiant comeback effort for the visiting Bears, but it was not enough as MSU (6-5) fell to Oral Roberts, 3-2, in overtime here Sunday afternoon.
 
Oral Roberts (5-6) was the first on the board as the Golden Eagles' McKenzie Edwards scored at the five-minute mark to give the home club the slight edge.
 
The Bears hoisted a number of shots during the opening half, but were unable to connect in goal as Missouri State headed into intermission trailing 1-0.
 
Einarsdottir finally broke through at the 65-minute mark, knocking in a header off a corner kick to even the score at one apiece. Three minutes later, Skornia would push through several defenders and connect from 20 yards out to give the Bears their first lead of the afternoon, 2-1.
 
The Missouri State lead held until the closing minutes of regulation when the Golden Eagles' Jordan Langebartels slipped it in the net to tie the match, 2-2, for the second time that afternoon.  
 
Six minutes into the first overtime period, ORU's Nelly Mamabolo snuck in a left side shot to give the Golden Eagles' the 3-2 win.
 
Missouri State outshot the Golden Eagles, 18-13, with 10 different players registering a shot attempt in the contest. Six of those players had multiple chances at the goal.
 
Goalkeeper Kaitlin Maxwell held strong in the cage grabbing five saves on the afternoon.
 
The Bears will begin their conference slate on Saturday, Sept. 22 at Illinois State beginning at 2 p.m.
