COLUMBIA — During the Missouri soccer team’s game with Texas Christian University on Sunday, a Missouri scoring chance turned into a scramble of bodies in front of the net. The TCU goalkeeper dove to the ground, saving a shot. Again and again Missouri players kicked the ball at the yawning goal only a few feet away. Again and again, TCU defenders threw their bodies in front of the ball to thwart scoring chances.
