COLUMBIA — In any given year, Lori Painter and Willie Geissert attend games for six or seven different MU sports, cheering their hearts out for their beloved Tigers.
More than half of these sports are played by women.
“We love coming to games because girls are so passionate about the sport,” Painter said. “I wish there was more support for women’s basketball or women’s sports in general.”
Geissert agrees.
“They bust their butts just as much as the boys do, but they don’t get the same benefits,” Geissert said.
