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.
  • The Bears head into this home game riding a two-game win streak on the road, including a 4-2 win against SIUE and a 3-0 shutout against the SEMO Redhawks.
  • 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.
  • Conference USA has proven unpredictable over the past three seasons, with three different champions: Rice (2022), New Mexico (2023) and FIU in (2024).
  • Julia Kristensen was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 2024, leading the team with 8 goals and 13 assists (leader for single season in program history), 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
