Road Test in Omaha
The Missouri Tigers soccer team will travel to Omaha on August 30, where they are scheduled to meet the Creighton Bluejays at Morrison Stadium at 1 p.m. The matchup will be streamed live on ESPN+, with real‑time updates also available on the Mizzou Soccer social channels.
Missouri arrives after a dominant 4‑0 victory over Northern Illinois, a performance highlighted by Junior Landis Canada’s two goals and the first multi‑goal game of her career. Freshmen Lana Adams and Petra Bandula each found the net for the first time, while senior goalkeepers Kate Phillips and Riley Wilkerson combined for four saves and secured the program’s first shutout of the 2026 season. The Tigers have also seen their offensive shooting percentage climb to 49.1 percent in the opening five games, up from 40.7 percent a year earlier.
Creighton, guided by head coach Jimmy Walker, enters the contest with a 1‑2‑1 record after a 1‑0 home shutout of Kansas City on Thursday. The Bluejays have tightened their defense, posting back‑to‑back clean sheets following a three‑goal start to the season, and they were selected fourth in the 2026 Big East preseason poll.
The series history adds intrigue: just a week earlier, the Tigers posted a 3‑1 win on the road, with Canada again delivering two goals and Wilkerson making four saves. That result marked the first road victory for Missouri in the series and set the stage for a potential momentum swing.
