The NCAA men’s soccer match between Saint Louis University and Northwestern was postponed last night because of heavy rain. The second round match is scheduled to be played today at 4 p.m.

The Saint Louis University women’s basketball team is off to a sizzling 3-0 start to the season. The Billikens got 25 points from senior guard Tyler McIlwraith as they ran right past Tennessee State 96-59. The 96 point outburst is the largest amount of points SLU has scored since 2002.

The Billikens took a 39-27 lead into halftime, but quickly extended that lead in the second half. The Lady Tigers pulled within 10 at 41-31, but that was as close as they would get. SLU went on a 20-0 run that lasted almost five minutes putting the game out of reach.

Katie Paganelli scored 19 points to go along with eight rebounds. Theresa Lisch chipped in with a double-double 16 points and 10 boards. Rachel Diener also scored in double figures with 12 points.

The Billikens will host another Tennessee team. Tennessee-Martin comes to the Bauman-Eberhardt Center Saturday looking to stop the red-hot Billikens.

Too bad there are not points given for excellent effort because if there were, Missouri would have definitely received on last night. The Tigers took No. 14 Oklahoma to the brink of defeat but eventually ran out of gas and loss in five games.

Mizzou, out of the top-25 for the first time this season, suffered a sweep earlier in the season to the Sooners. The first game of matches seems to dictate how things will go for the Tigers this season. Mizzou is 1-8 when it loses the opening game. What happened against Oklahoma? The Sooners outlasted the Tigers 25-30.

Several Missouri efforts went for naught. Na Yang had a double-double with 22 kills and 13 digs. Nicole Wilson also had a solid match with 20 kills, six digs, and five blocks.

The Tigers look to get back to winning when they visit the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday.
