It has been four games and four shutouts for the Missouri women’s soccer team. The Tigers defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers 1-0 on Sunday. Sophomore Janelle Cordia provided the lone goal in the 62nd minute.

By holding Minnesota scoreless, sophomore goalkeeper Mallory Forst has shutouts in all four of her career collegestarts. The four consecutive shutouts is a Missouri record.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE VOLLEY­BALL: The Cougars lost in straight games to Missouri Baptist University in the championship match of the Best Western/KMIZ Volleyball Classic on Saturday.

Yi Zhang led Columbia’s offensive attack with 15 kills, and Rael Rotich chipped in with 12 kills of her own. Zhang and Rotich joined teammate Luana Branco on the all-tournament team.

STEELERS: Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had an emergency appendectomy after becoming ill Sunday and will miss Thursday night’s season opener against Miami.

Coach Bill Cowher said he is not certain how long Roethlisberger will be out following the quarterback’s third operation in 10 months and second in 2½ months. Roethlisberger began having pain and was vomiting Sunday morning. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian for surgery after being examined by the team’s medical staff.

“The surgery went well,” Cowher said. “He is obviously going to be out this week and we will go week to week from there.”

Charlie Batch, the former Lions starter who was 2-0 as a fill-in last season when Roethlisberger hurt his knee, will start against the Dolphins in the NFL’s season-opening showcase game.
