COLUMBIA, Mo. – Senior Julissa Cisneros provided her fifth-career multi-goal effort to lead the Tigers (1-2) to a 3-1 victory over Indiana State (1-2). The win marks Mizzou’s first of the Stefanie Golan era.
The Tigers fired a season-high 27 shots in the contest with 10 of them on goal.
The Tigers found themselves trailing in the early stages after Indiana State put in the first goal from distance into the bottom right corner in the seventh minute.
TURNING POINT
The Tigers would not trail for long, however, Mizzou earned their first goal of the season after Julissa Cisneros found Macy Trujillo with a through ball down the right side. Trujillo’s initial shot was blocked, but she was able to collect the rebound and put it on goal. The shot seemed to be blocked by the Sycamore defender, but the official determined that it crossed the line.
With the score tied entering the second half, Mizzou turned the pressure on the ISU defense. Macy Trujillo found Leah Selm down the right side, and she sent a low cross in to Cisneros. The senior gathered it and used her left foot to send the ball into the bottom right corner of the net. Mizzou gained their first lead of the season.
The Tigers and Julissa Cisneros were not finished there. Milena Fischer played Julissa Cisneros through the center of the defense in the 82nd minute and she was able to hold off the defense with her left shoulder. She tucked it just inside the right post for the brace.
