LUBBOCK, Texas - The Missouri Tigers broke a 1-1 tie with 11 minutes to play in the match, then added an insurance goal in the last three minutes to post a 3-1 victory over Texas Tech Sunday in Columbia, Mo.
Melissa McLellan put the Tigers up 1-0 with a goal in the 38th minute. Nikki Thole and Mandy Waters assisted on McLellan's goal.
The Red Raiders tied the game at one in the 55th minute on a goal from Melanie Brosnahan, her fifth of the year and third in the last three matches, on an assist from freshman Rachel Mavris.
But preseason All-Big 12 selection Thole scored in the 80th minute on an assist from Dyana Russell, then put the match away for the Tigers with her second goal with just over two minutes to play on an assist from Adriene Davis.
"We played well in the first half," Tech head coach Felix Oskam said. "We were in it until about 11 minutes to go when they scored after we tried to clear the ball."
Missouri outshot Tech, 29-11, in the match, including 14-7 in shots on goal. Tech keeper JoDee Campbell made 10 saves in the match.
The Red Raiders play just once this coming week, a 1 p.m. contest against the Baylor Bears Sunday at R.P. Fuller Stadium on the Tech campus.
