No tags for this entry.

Missouri's soccer team advanced to the Big 12 Championship title game after beating Kansas on Friday night in San Antonio. The game was tied at one after regulation and two overtimes. After four rounds of penalty kicks, the Tigers and Jayhawks were tied at 3 goals. Junior goalkeeper Tasha Dittamore made a diving save of KU's last attempt. Sophomore forward Alysha Bonnick followed with a shot into the bottom left corner of the net, giving Missouri its second win against Kansas in the last seven days.

MU plays Colorado in the final at noon on Sunday. Colorado upset Big 12 regular season champion Oklahoma State on Friday, also needing penalty kicks to advance to the title game. Colorado is the fourth seed in the Championship, while Missouri is No. 3. The Tigers beat Colorado 1-0 on Oct. 3 in Columbia, the only matchup between the two teams this season.

Fox Sports Net Midwest will broadcast the game live.
