On the Pitch
- The Bears return home on Sunday, August 31, as they host the Missouri Tigers at Betty & Bobby Allison South Stadium for the first time since 1997.
- Missouri leads the series 4-1. The only win for Missouri State came in Sept. 19, 1996 at Columbia with a final score of 2-0. The Tigers took the only match held in Springfield with a 0-2 scoreline on Sept. 19, 1997.

- Abby Hansen leads the way for the Bears on the offensive end, earning seven total points, with two goals and three assists. Hansen exploded on the offensive end against SIUE, assisting two goals and scoring one.
- Ella Becker recorded her first clean sheet of the season and second career shutout against SEMO. Victoria Spahn had a huge game at SIUE including back-to-back penalty saves to keep the score 4-2.
- 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.

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.
- Maddie 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.
