Missouri Womens Basketball Secures First Postseason Win, Advances to WBI Semifinals
The Missouri Tigers womens basketball team claimed their first-ever postseason victory in the Womens Basketball Invitational (WBI) Tournament, defeating Seton Hall 67-57. This triumph marks their first postseason win since 2023, when they beat Illinois State in the National Invitational Tournaments opening round.
Junior forward Grace Slaughter led the Tigers with a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds. Missouri struggled initially, trailing by four at halftime due to Seton Halls defensive pressure on their three-point shooting. However, the Tigers turned the game around in the second half, tying it up late in the third quarter and then pulling away.
Standout performances came from several players, including senior Jordana Resima with 17 points, 11 of them in the second half. Juniors Shannon Dowell and sophomore Sotell Dowell contributed with defensive intensity, combining for 16 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, and 4 steals.
This victory ensures Missouri at least one more game on Sunday against the winner of the Brigham Young and Alabama A&M matchup. The Tigers demonstrated resilience in overcoming their early deficit, building momentum for their continued tournament run.
