On the Pitch
  • The Bears return home for the home opener on Thursday, August 21, as they host the Kansas City Roos.
  • Missouri State returns home after a two-game road swing, where the Bears dropped one and earned a hard fought point with a tie at Nebraska.
  • Freshman forward Rowann Law scored the Bears' only goal against the Huskers with an assist from Macee McKenna, marking Law's first collegiate goal.
  • Defensively, the pair of Maddie Schneiderhahn and Kayla Smith had a strong defensive performance, holding Nebraska to just one goal, while veteran goalkeeper Ella Becker picked up her 12th save of the season.
  • This year's schedule includes a challenging non-conference slate, highlighted by a Sept. 7 home rematch against Iowa, Missouri State's opponent in the opening round of last season's NCAA Tournament.
  • Home highlights include in-state showdowns with Kansas City (Aug. 21) and Missouri (Aug. 31), as well as key Conference USA matchups against Delaware (Oct. 5), Western Kentucky (Oct. 12), Louisiana Tech (Oct. 16) and Sam Houston (Oct. 19).
  • Julia Kristensen was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 2024, leading the team with 8 goals and 13 assists (first in single season), landing the number two spot on the program record book with 18 career assists. Kristensen scored the MVC Tournament-clinching goal vs. Drake, and finished the season as one of the nation's premier playmakers, ranking tied for second in total assists and fourth in assists per game according to NCAA statistics.
  • Jane Hansen earned MVC Freshman of the Year honors in 2024, and spent 1,274 minutes on the pitch, playing in every game and starting in 16.
  • Schneiderhahn started 20 games, appeared in 21 total, and logged 1,673 minutes on the field, earning All-MVC Third Team honors for her consistent and durable presence on the back line last season.
  • The coaching staff was named MVC Coaching Staff of the Year, as the Bears claimed their first-ever MVC regular-season title, finishing as the No. 1 seed and completing a two-year unbeaten streak in MVC play (20 matches; last loss: Oct. 23, 2022, vs. Illinois State).
