Missouri women's basketball fought until the final minute of Sunday's game against Norfolk State but could not and lost 54-57. The Tigers never held the lead during the game but stayed close to the Spartan's score, consistently trailing by only 2 to 3 points at the end of each quarter.

Sophomore guard Abbey Schreacke led the team with 15 points, many of which came in the second half during her and graduate forward Angelique Ngalakulondi's attempt to give Missouri the lead with 24 combined points.
