The Missouri State women's soccer team (3-0) is back on home turf Sunday afternoon to take on Oregon (0-2) for the first time in the team's history.
Head coach Kirk Nelson's Bears are off to their best start since 2018 with three straight wins. This season is also the first time since 2012 that the schedule has featured three teams from Power-5 conferences. The Bears defeated Oklahoma State from the Big-12, 2-1. Later this season they will take on Mizzou from the SEC.
The Bears and Ducks will face off at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday at Betty and Bobby Allison South Stadium in Springfield. Admission is free. Fans are encouraged to wear white and pick up a free rally towel.
