Richards, Burton score to erase 2-0 deficit and send match to OT
Missouri took the lead early, scoring in the opening minutes after getting possession immediately after first touch. Xavier responded with a number of chances, leading 6-3 on shots, and 3-1 on looks on-frame, in the first half, but were unable to score before the break, going into halftime down 1-0.
Missouri added to the lead early in the second half, scoring off a set piece to go ahead 2-0. Xavier responded with a goal from Jackie Richards less than 10 minutes later, cutting the lead to one, 2-1.
The Missouri lead held until the closing minute of regulation, when Emily Burton took advantage of the Missouri goalkeeper losing her footing, finishing from just in front of the box to tie the match, 2-2, and send it to overtime.
The draw held through the first overtime period and six minutes into the second until a Xavier yellow yard in the box gave the Tigers a penalty kick. Missouri scored the golden goal to win 3-2.
