Mizzou Soccer earns first conference point against Arkansas
Taryn Chance’s first goal as a Tiger led them to a 1-1 draw
Missouri women's soccer secured its first SEC point of the season with a 1-1 draw against Arkansas on Friday night at Razorback Field. Taryn Chance equalized in the 72nd minute after Arkansas took the lead in the 65th, snapping a four-game losing streak for the Tigers at the start of conference play. Missouri dominated the first half, holding an 8-7 shot edge and keeping the game scoreless.
The Razorbacks broke through with a goal by Vailana Tu'ua in the 65th, while Missouri answered quickly with an equalizer from Chance in the 72nd. Chance, making her first appearance of the season, scored the tying goal after coming on as a substitute for Adams in the 29th minute. Despite outshooting Arkansas 17-15, Missouri was unable to capitalize on early opportunities and matched Arkansas in shots on goal.
The Tigers faced physical play late in the game, with Mia Devrouax receiving a yellow card for unsporting behavior and Arkansas a team yellow for the same infraction. Missouri's first SEC point since a draw with Auburn in October 2023 also ended an 11-game losing streak. The Tigers now return home to host No. 3 Vanderbilt on Friday, October 9.
