On the Pitch
- The regular-season champion Missouri State Bears return home for their regular-season finale against Valparaiso at noon on Sunday.
- The Bears are champions! With its 1-0 win at Illinois State on Thursday, Missouri State secured its first-ever regular season championship. Having locked up the No. 1 seed for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, the Bears receive a double-bye and will serve as the host for both the semifinal round and the MVC Championship game.
- Grace O'Keefe scored the game-winner at ISU in the 11th minute of play off an assist from Julia Kristensen.
- The Bears are the only team remaining without a loss in conference play. MoState's last loss in MVC action was just over two years ago on 10/23/22 at Illinois State (4-2), marking 19-straight conference matches without a loss for the Bears.
- The Bears secured their home field advantage due to a game-winning goal from Kaeli Benedict in the 86th minute of the game at SIU.
- O'Keefe is leading the Bears and the Valley in shots on-goal with 27 out of 37. With five goals, O'Keefe is second in the country in shot accuracy.
- O'Keefe leads the Bears in game-winners with three. Kristensen and Benedict are tied with two game-winning goals apiece. They are tied for second in the conference. J. Hansen, Heman and Eydis Helgadottir have scored the other three game-winning goals.
- Goalkeeper Camielle Day is close to claiming another spot in the record books. With the shutout at Illinois State, she now has 27 all-time to tie program leader Jackie Jasper (2005-08).
