BOLIVAR, Mo. -- Missing two big pieces of the offense in Rhiane Mitchell and Shannon Roher due to injury, SBU soccer was shut out against MIAA-leading Truman State, 4-0.

The Bearcats soon regained some momentum and appeared to take control of the tempo, but could not get a good look at the goal. Truman extended their lead in the 29th minute with a goal from Katie Reuck, and went into halftime with a 2-0 lead. Truman went on to control most of the second half, outshooting the Bearcats 8-2, and 14-9 for the whole game.
