Mizzou Women’s Basketball Secures First Win of Season; The Buzz, Nov. 8, 2024

Date:

The Missouri Tigers women’s basketball team won 66-51 over Southern Thursday night, the first win of the season for Missouri. The Tigers opened the season with a disappointing loss at Vermont.

Laniah Randle, a transfer from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Southern held the game close at 4-7 three minutes into the first quarter before Missouri went on a 14-point scoring run through the end of the first quarter. Southern outscored Missouri 18-to-10 in the second quarter, but the Tigers scored 20 in the third quarter and 15 in the fourh to hold on to the win.

It was far from a perfect performance for Missouri, giving up 20 turnovers. But the Tigers displayed potential to improve from a 11-19 season with the addition of Randle, and the development of sophomore Grace Slaughter, who led the team with 15 points.
